So I had a crazy experience to share with the FS community. I've been avoiding shopping at all cost because I figured it was a waste of time because I still have a lot to go for my weight goal but on Saturday me and the wife decided to go the outlets just to look around and grab me a couple of shirts for the gym. Let me tell you i've never been excited about buying clothes until this trip. I went into a couple of stores and grabbed a couple of nice shirts I liked and would grab them in three sizes because I had no idea what my shirt size was. I couldn't believe it but I bought all of my shirts this weekend in a LARGE. They fit nicely and weren't tight at all. Even crazier is that I needed a couple of more pants for work and I tried on a pair that was a size down from what i'm wearing now and they were too loose so I had to get the next size down. I couldn't believe it I haven't worn sizes like this since I was a young teenager. Absolutely a momentum driver and as a mans man a kind of funny thing to get excited about. So in summation my shirt size is down from a XXL that was a little tight to a large that fits and i'm down 8 inches on my pant size. WTF are you serious. Man I can't even imagine what i'll be wearing when I get to my goal weight. Anwyays just thought I would share a story.

Thanks for sharing and CONGRATS! That's an awesome feeling and it's ok for a guy to feel excited about going clothes shopping ESPECIALLY when he's dropping the LBs like you are. Congrats again!
