I’m down over 30lbs since Christmas. Wearing skinny jeans today. Not those awful hipster things that make you look like a potato with toothpicks for legs. The jeans I stuck in my closet “just in case” I ever lost the weight. That’s almost as satisfying as the weight loss. The vindication for keeping them for just such a purpose.

I may have to consider Nate Bargatze’s strategy of telling people he used to weigh 300 pounds. That way you look good no matter what.

Vindication.

The ultimate win.

One of these days my box of old serial cables will save the world and I'll stand beside you.

@phpete If nothing else, I’ll use them to keep my pants up.
