What to do with 'fat' clothes?
OK...maybe I am a pack rat...maybe I am thrifty...maybe I am a realist... I can't throw out my fat man clothes.

After my nose & throat surgery I couldn't eat for a couple weeks and dropped over 10lbs. Now that I am eating again I'm gaining weight for 5 days in a row.

Diagnosed w/ Obstructed Sleep Apnea, two tests showed that a CPAP or BiPAP wouldn't do the trick. Went to the ENT and had surgery completed on my septum and part of my soft pallet removed.

No More Big & Tall Shopping
After losing 60lbs I no longer need to shop the Big & Tall section of the store. I didn't get shorter so apparently it was the weight loss. While I have two more sets of 20lb weight loss segments to go...I'm going shopping to reward the journey so far.

Pick-up the Weight You Lost
Not sure if you ever tried this but it is a motivator for me. Pick-up a dumbell or anything that weighs the same as the amount you lost. You'll be shocked on how much weight you no longer tote around.
