Weight loss and perseverance

Another surprise today. Remember how I said the weight loss was accelerating across my middle now that the other parts of my body have reached about as small as they will go?

Well, I got new pants today since I have quickly shrunk out of the ones I bought back in the middle of June. They are the same brand and style but with a 2” smaller waist!

Holy crap! I lost 2” off my waist in 7 weeks?!

I’m going to have to totally re-think how I buy clothes now! I only bought 2 pair of pants in this new size and another 2 pair that are 2” smaller than that. At this rate I will shrink out of both sizes and need to get new ones even smaller by Thanksgiving.

When I started at 315 lbs, I had a 56” waist. It took me 16 months to get to a 50” waist. Then it took only 4 months to get to a 48” waist. Now, it took just under 2 months to get to a 46” waist.

My monthly weight loss has remained steady the whole time at right about 3 lbs per month.
