I am wearing size 30" pants, 42" chest, 183 to 184 lbs. Just barely under the "obese" category according to the BMI chart. I figure I have 8 to 10 lbs of lose skin that is tightening up slowly. I am trying not to lose any more size, other than skin tightening. I get folks asking if I am sick or if I am trying to lose weight, I tell them I am on the push diet, push my fat ass away from the table and laugh, and that I am healthy as a horse, they are generally glad for me. Doc says my stats are great. I am happy. I do have a little concern about eating enough, I am not flipping out, but it is a minor concern for me.
Some new experiences in my world.....
Take yesterday for example, went to buy hunting cloths, because NOTHING I wore last year fits now, I picked up size medium pants and large shirts, they were to large, had to put them back and drop down a size. I used to struggle to find cloths large enough to fit, now I struggle to find them small enough.
Same for suits, I can not wear normal suits any more, a size 42" chest suit has a 36" waist, which can not be taken up to a size 30" waist because the freaking pockets end up right next to each other. So I have to buy suit separates. Which are not that high of a quality generally. Guess in a few months I will splurge on custom made suits. Gesh, that is gonna be expensive.
But in all, I am happy, when I go on vacation or biz trip I take a female companion, we split most meals at restaurant, its all good. I find that works good. Hunting camp this fall will be interesting. Good but interesting. Just another new experience.
Hope everyone is doing well. Feel free to reach out if I can offer words of encouragement or share what is working for me.
