A FART moment

I had a real WOW moment today. I use to wear a size 56 waist. I went to Target today and bought my first 'new' pair of pants. I didn't fit into size 44. I had to settle for a size 42 (and they were a little lose). I had Lap RNY 4 months ago and have lost 97 pounds.  I'm soooo happy!!

way to go! (btw, they're FARTS in the locker room). your story brought back a memory for me. it seemed the only store in my area with big boy pants was target. i started at 40 there and climbed until i got past their biggest, 48's and those were very hard to find. nowadays it seems like they start there! that should tell you something about the obesity trend in the US. anyway, i was very depressed when i realized i went past the mainstream in terms of waist size. i went on climbing to 52". whenever i think of my waistline and pants i always think back to the day i couldn't find pants at target anymore. funny memory in a way. so now at 32" i can shop anywhere. keep up the great work.....carbonblob

Congrats, Bill! The first pair of new pants in really big time. Despite the rapid weight loss, I held out as long as I could before buying my first new pair of pants. I finally succumbed when my pants fell down as I was shooting a picture at my daughter's birthday party. Pretty embarrassing but at least it was just family who witnessed the "dropping of the drawers."

Somebody strike a match - Ol' Bill just had a huge FART!!  Congrats to ya man!!

Bill, Congratulations!  It is a great feeling to get into smaller "regular" sized pants.  You better get used to it now. I love to walk into a store and be able to buy something from the clearance rack that actually fits me well.  I have not had that experience in many years. Keep up the good work.

14" gone from the waist from a 97 lb loss is incredible. It also makes me jealous ******* I've lost 122 lbs and only gone from 56's to just now getting in to 48's. 50's are still comfortable. But  I've got me some bony ass shoulders and knees and a pencil neck. I've lost a lot of weight everywhere except in my gut. Congratulations on your loss and continue to fart at will.

Yup! just too too coole, eh Bill? Myself, I went from a 60" size to now 36" and I'm eyeing those 34" ones at Walmart with what can only be described as a real "gee, I wanna be the same size I was in highschool" lust! Jim
