Well, it's happened before.
Actually, it went much further than that pile — I went for the suits I bought back in the fall
of 2012 — I was in the home stretch of Atkins at the time, and my weight had plateued at about 225,
I imagine. I'm super motivated to check out the fit of these suits, because I intend to wear one of
them for my company Christmas party.
I tried on two suits — the first is a tan silk one I wore five years ago, and it fit VERY
well. The second is one of those dress suits — a delicious dark brown pin stripe. The trousers fit
very well, but I think the jacket was a teeny bit small. I've still got some work to do.
Next, I reached for a dress shirt I'd been longing to wear again. I think I bought it some six
years ago as a "single guy goin' out" shirt. Survey says: It fits!
A pair of jeans I couldn't squeeze into last time: They fit! (Now I'm DEFINITELY taking
those new jeans back.)
All-in-all, I'm quite happy with the results. The jacket gives me motivation to keep working,
but the pants all fit right now! Onward and downward!
