Unimaginable

So, about three or four weeks ago, I realized—after giving myself a break and looking at reality—that I had lost 9 pounds since March. I've since lost an additional five pounds and am now ½-pound lighter than when I went to work a little over two years ago. Realizing I had lost weight inspired me to continue on doing so. The first nine pounds kind of just disappeared. I didn't exercise, and I didn't really change my eating significantly; I just cut out french fries.

Of course, six more pounds will make it an even 20. Maybe then, it will start actually looking like I've lost some weight as I lose some weight. My clothes fit better, but not enough to really notice. My chest is down from 52" to 50½"; now to get to that 48" chest and wear my really cool suits and jackets again, especially the royal blue one—I admit I look hot in that jacket. I can wear shirts now that I haven't been able to wear for quite some time, and some shirts that I've bought because I liked I'll soon be able to wear if I continue on the downward spiral (for once, a downward spiral associated with me is a good thing).

We won't talk about the waist until I'm at leastmost a 36". Maybe, perhaps, I'll post pictures when I've made more significant progress.
