2016.12.24The Infamous 35's Are What I'm Getting for Christmas

In early November of 2012 I bought myself a pair of 35" waist jeans from Eddie Bauer. I'd tried them on the previous September, and I was likely blinded to how bad I looked in them by the pride I felt of being able to get them on. (I weighed just under 220 at the time, from what I can tell.) I didn't buy them that day, but I tried them on again at the store in early November, and sealed the deal.

Today, after weighing in under 230 lbs. for the first time since probably April, 2012, I found the courage to put them on.

A little over two months ago ago I made a post about putting on my 38" waist jeans. I titled the post, "Well, They're On, But They're Not Happy".

My experience with the 35s wasn't quite as... tight. That's a super good thing. They felt a little snug when I sat in my office chair. A little more progress should be made before I include them in the rotation, but I DID IT!



2016.12.24Pants Progression

While writing the previous post, I became curious about when, during this journey, I started wearing the previous sizes. Here's the list I currently have. I'll say it's accurate to within a few days:

WAIST:38"36"35"
 7/30/2016
--
--
10/17/2016
2 mo., 17 days
-4.9lbs
12/24/2016
2 mo., 6 days
-18.6lbs

Something with that data has to be off. There's no way that five pounds was the difference between a 38" waist and a 36" waist.
