Doug Losing Weight

I dropped by the shoe shop yesterday.  For the last three weeks I’ve been living in fear of my pants dropping around my ankles.  It was time to upgrade the belt.

I have the guy just put more holes in it, so I can kind of  watch the progress.

I mentioned to him that I wasn’t sure if my body was smaller, or the belt had stretched bigger.  He asked how many new holes I wanted, I told him five.

He punched the holes, I paid him my dollar and put the belt back on.  I cinched it up to the fourth new hole – probably a three inch difference.  He asked if I wanted more holes – I decided that I enjoyed the process of coming in to celebrate my body changing.

He mentioned as I left that it’s hard to stretch a piece of leather three inches.  Then he grinned at me – I appreciated that.

The scale still is locked at the 392 number, but I am starting to feel different.  When I move it seems easier, like I’m lighter.  It’s hard to explain, but I’m digging it.
