caddymanI think maybe my belt is stretching.
For the past few days, when I have put my trollies on, my belt has been tending toward the next notch in, but it has felt just that little bit too tight, so I left it where I have been wearing it for the past few weeks. This morning I used the next notch in and it didn’t feel uncomfortably tight (though tighter), so I left it. Psychological boost and all that.
The trouble is, having found that both the belt and my tum were happy with the extra tightening, I did what I always do when that happens and zipped down to try out my leather jacket, which is the immediate incentive for losing weight (other than any more esoteric reasons of health and so on: vanity always wins out over logic). To my annoyance, it didn’t seem to be any different in fit to the last time I tried it. Don’t get me wrong, it is still a better fit, a much better fit, than six months ago, but…
My work jacket too, seems no looser.
I can only conclude that either my belt is stretching, or I am losing weight from the feet up. I hope it evens out or I shall look like a bloody bald flamingo in chinos. That’s not quite where I anticipated ending up when we started this weight loss thing.
And I’m not sure that I look any thinner, either. Where’s the ego-boosting reward?
