Default Dolls clothes?

Last week I was in Wally's World (Wal-Mart), and stopped in the men's clothes section to see what was on sale. (I've been doing that a lot now that I can buy off the rack again.) Anyway, I pulled a shirt off the clearance rack and it looked too large, so I put it back and got the next size smaller. Then I picked out a pair of jeans to try on, too. I couldn't believe I was actually going to try these sizes on, but I went into the booth with them anyway. They looked like dolls clothes!

Before I put them on I held them up and thought "if I put these on I'll rip the seams out!" I tried it anyway, and they fit!! So instead of the 46" waist, I'm wearing a 34 and thinking a 32 may be in the near future. Instead of the 2XLT or 3XLT shirt (the "T" was to give me enough material to wrap around the overhang!) that I was wearing in December, I now wear a Small!

If these are actually dolls clothes, does that make me a doll? ;^)

WOW!!!!!!! Who'da thunk it?

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I think that is great! Something I found funny, I gave my old clothes away, I wanted to wash them first, and as I was folding them, they looked so freakin' huge!!! I was holding them up and just staring at them, amazed!

I do the same thing, I hold up the clothes and say to myself "nah, these aren't going to fit" but I try them on anyway and guess what, they fit! It's such a wonderful feeling when those smaller clothes fit, isn't it??
