Scene: my bedroom, this morning, getting ready for work.Rachel: (pulling on pants without even having to unbutton them first, says to husband) Hey dude, you got a belt I can use?
Hubby: Yeah, I think so. (digs through closet and pulls out two belts)
Rachel: The skinny one.
Hubby: (hands belt to Rachel)
Rachel: (putting it in the belt loops of her pants) Awesome. Thanks. Do you know how long it's been since I needed a belt?
Hubby: Um...
Rachel: Since before Bean was born. (Note: Bean = nickname of daughter, born in 2000)
Hubby: (watches Rachel buckle belt) Hey, lose some more and we can have belt wars. (twirls the piece of his own belt that is hanging down from where its buckled)
Yeah, so, that happened this morning!
My pants were so big that I could fit BOTH of my hands sideways between my belly and the waistband, 8 fingers width of space, yo!
Wooo, NSV baby!!!

Re: Hey dude, you got a belt I can use?
How cool is that. I remember the first time walking from my car holding my pants up because they were falling off of me as I walked. Good feeling! Congratulations.

Re: Hey dude, you got a belt I can use?
Words of advice..from now on be sure to try your clothes on a couple of days before you need to wear
them. You will drop inches and pounds quicker than you think !
You will be ready to get dressed to go out .. Only to find the outfit that fit 2 weeks ago is literally falling off!
I just pick a couple of outfits at the resale shop at a time to be able to wear clothes that fit .. It does not hurt to get something on th tigher side rather than a looser fit which we tended to wear.

Re: Hey dude, you got a belt I can use?
That is the best excerpt from a play's script I've read in years.
(standing ovation) Bravo, Bravo! Encore, Encore!
And congratulations on your wonderful NSV and effort.
Inside some of us is a thin person struggling to get out, but they can usually be sedated with a few pieces of chocolate cake.
