Losing of the weight

[caddyman]

I'm not convinced that it really shows yet as I am such a lardy chap, but there appears to be progress - quantifiable progres - in the weight loss department. I tried my leather jacket on this afternoon and while there is still significant poundage to be lost before I achieve the immediate ambition of being able to button it over a teeshirt without stifling myself or injuring passers-by with flying buttons, the gap between buttons and button holes is noticeably diminished. In fact, were it a single-breasted jacket, I should be able to wear it buttoned now and it wouldn't be tight. That would not have been true six weeks ago.

This is what's known as positive feedback, which will steady my nerves for the next six weeks of giving everything I eat a beady once-over before snarfing it down.

Once I have achieved stage one as above, stage two will to be move on to stage two, losing enough to be able to wear a jumper under it; but first things first, eh?

Last week I tried on a pair of cords that I bought a couple of years back, but which only fitted where they touched. I can wear those, too, now. Pity that they are so far beyond fashion that even I noticed. Still, one day they will be back and I shall be waiting. Ultimately I shall be able to look at myself in the mirror sideways without pan and scan...

Thanks! Yes, a stone is 14 lbs; I don't think I've lost that much yet, or if I did, I've been a bit lax this past week so must get back onto the wagon from tomorrow morning.

Weight looks impressive when shown as blocks of say, butter, but you can spread that awfully thin and not notice it on a large area, so it takes time to show, even if it is coming off!
