The Incredible Shrinking Kevin
One of the things about having lost so much weight is that my clothing doesn't fit so well anymore -- and in the sense of being baggy instead of too tight, which is a new experience. I'm at about 265 pounds now (the pace of weight loss dropped substantially after the first sixty pounds or so, and I've stopped starving myself after the initial panic period), but I've been falling out of the size 44 slacks, and my size 18 1/2 shirts have been hanging pretty loosely. So as an experiment, I ordered two pair of size 42 slacks and two size 18 shirts, which arrived yesterday. The 42s are just slightly tight, but they do fit, and the 18 shirts are much better fits. I also need to drill a couple more holes in my belt -- I've run out of space on it. All of these things are good signs.

When I get a chance -- which won't be for several weeks -- I need to take the box of size 46, 48, 50, and 52 slacks (yes, I've gone down that far) and take them to the nearby thrift store. Pity I can't use the tax write-off (because I don't have enough to justify itemizing deductions).
