Went Shopping!

[John In Illinois]

Ok,

The other day I posted about how I had thrown away my "fat pants".

Kelsie also quickly pointed out the fact that mathematically, I needed to buy new ones! (OK, so women ARE smarter at math than men)

Well I went shopping today, and much to my extreme surprise and amazement............

I have dropped yet ANOTHER pants size!

This makes THREE sizes since starting the Challenge!

I can't relate just how good this makes me feel!

I have NEVER been someone who enjoyed even "looking" at clothes, but today I caught myself feeling happy as I looked around.


I have to say that the fact that I feel different even INSIDE, makes me appreciate the changes "outside" all the more.



I am just glad that I was prodded into this, that person will FOREVER be someone I owe my life to.....and I am not exagerating the "life" part, because I truly think she has possibly "saved my life" from dying too early.

Thank You!

So not only has WISH helped create the new svelte John, but we have turned you into a "shopper" too? Oh my goodness, poke me in the eye, because I have NEVER met a man who likes to shop! Congrats, John!

Not to worry, all the money I am saving NOT going to fast-food places has added up fast!!

Imagine dropping 3 sizes in what, two months? Amazing! What a motivation you are for me. You make me believe in myself and I do so appreciate that.
