Tenting on the Old Campground

I have a t-shirt that is 16 years old (favorite team championship shirt, so it has a date printed right on it). It has always been kind of "tight." When I pull it down over my midsection, it gets snug and if I pull it down past my hips, it fits like sausage casing.
A couple of nights ago I put that shirt on to work out in, and it fell straight down over my hips without stopping, and just hung there. I seriously felt like I was wearing a tent. And I was shocked, because that particular shirt was always one that I felt would fit BETTER if I could lose some weight! I felt like I was lost in it!
I'm not a measurement-taker, and now I regret it because I would love to know what my hips WERE compared to what they are now. It must be a big difference!

Ha! ALL my shirts fit like that!
If it is really a favorite, you can take it in a little, skinny-mini. ;p

Just wait until the day when you pull one on and think "Wow! I have so much ROOM in here! And I never realized this shirt was so LONG!" It's a great moment!0 -
I have a few in my closet waiting on this very moment!!! Congrats to you:)0
