I Think I Need a Belt February 21, 2006

I’ve never been a belt wearer. I figure, my jeans were tight enough without one, and god knows I’m not tucking my shirt in so any one can see a belt — why wear one?
Well, now I have a need for one. I haven’t had a wardrobe malfunction yet, but some of my jeans are getting rather loose — to the point where they need to be adjusted if I’m lounging on the couch or the bed in them.
I also noticed this morning that my favorite pink shirt fits even better than the last time I wore it. It’s a simple button-down stretch shirt (gawd, I’d just LOVE to kiss the person responsible for weaving lycra into jeans and dress shirts and pants and everything else!), and when I first wore it, it was just slightly snug around the belly. Ladies, those of you who are thick in the middle know what I’m talking about. Shirts that sort of cling to that bulge that hangs over our jeans. Well, this morning, there was no clinging. My shirt now hands bulge-free. Well, not counting my boobs, of course.
Of course, I’m still not tucking my shirt in yet! 
YAY for needing belts and no clinging shirts! Small milestones are the best and sometimes feel the greatest!
One of the absolute best feelings in the world is the ‘I need a belt’ realization. Awesome!
How wonderful for you! I know the feeling, believe me. I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes last Feb. and in the past year, I have lost about 45 lbs. I’m having to learn how to dress again.
KEEP IT UP!
