WEIGHT LOSS UPDATE

I keep looking the mirror with surprise and remembering that line from Henry V where Falstaff says “Do I not dwindle? My skin hangs about me like an old lady’s loose gown.”

My skin isn’t hanging about, but my clothes certainly are. Just went to Nordstrom and got remeasured. I fit perfectly into a 42″ Armani and a 40″ Joseph Abboud — Abboud’s are cut larger. The Armani looks awesome. Perfect shoulders. Not sure I won’t get down to a 40″ which puts me down there with the A-listers. Looking at 16/32 shirts, 40/42 short blazers, and 32-33 waist if I can drop the rest around my middle and back.

For a contrast with the past, I can wear a fleece jacket comfortably under my existing Ralph Lauren 46 short, and the jacket front overlaps by almost eight inches.. I’m pretty sure I’ll get comfortably into cut 42’s, which means I can wear all the trendy stuff rather than wear light wool year around. My 34″ jeans are falling off me and in the 36’s I look like Billy Halleck in Thinner. (Makes my day.)

Got my wonderful italian loafers polished today for 2.50 and they look brand new. It’s awesome to make progress. And it compensates for the medical news today a bit.
