Size me up.....or down..

I probably should have written this post yesterday when I was on a high - cuz yesterday was very special to me.. But it was also the first Friday after a full work week - a full, ruthless and tiresome week back to work, so blogging was not really on the schedule for last night.

Another thing about last night - the semi-finals at the World Cup was on - no way in hell was I gonna miss that.. I know - I'm a jock..and I'm proud to say so! Awesome match against the Spaniards though..and a BIG, BIG game of the guys..

Anyway - the thoughts about this post came sneaking up on me yesterday on my way home from work. No matter how much clothes I'm wearing I'm at the stage of the weight loss where I'm freezing my friggin' ass off...!! ALL THE TIME....

I stand by my decision about not buying any new clothes for some months and until it's fatally necessary - I've got a closet full of big bags with clothes in all shapes and sizes - however - there's nothing in my closet that'll keep me warm during the winter we are having at the moment! I'm longing for my duvet jacket - it fits....if I'm not wearing any clothes underneath....but I suppose that's a oxymoron, eh?! So I decide to bend the rule a bit and went into a shop and got myself a PJs and wool underwear.. And I'm happy I did - in more ways than one.

Explanation:
I honestly don't feel or see myself as morbidly obese anymore - or even obese for that matter. I'm sure some will disagree and I do recognize that I am still overweight with 121 kg (266 lbs) on my ass, but my point is that I'm down to a size where I can just walk into a store and buy something of the rack! Off the rack means made in a standard size and available from merchandise in stock. I realized that yesterday and I've been dreaming of it for the past 5 years! I went into the store with no hope of finding anything to help my freezing suffering and came out with a size 48....(US 18 / UK 20).....HU-AHH!

It totally cought me by surprise, since I'm currently wearing clothes in a bigger size, but I guess it all depends on the label, right? I have some that is way too big too..and then we're back to the whole not-spending-money-on-clothes-speech..

...I guess it's time to send the old clothes to the land Far Far Away...
