Out on the weekend with the Grand Kids to the cinema and to buy some new shorts for around the house and the gym

Prior to my surgery I wore a size 4XL shorts and have graduated to 2XL - not too shabby if I do say so myself

For shirts it was also a 4XL and now an XXL

Living in Indonesia it is very difficult to get off the rack clothes in my size - everyone here is petite compared to me

But my loving partner did some look-arounds and found a store that might suffice so off we sent on our expedition

Shorts abound were found but 2XL shorts were not to be seen

My Grandson in all of his eagerness to help brought over a pair of L shorts - L for Asian is a bit small I thought but on his insistance I tried them on - AND THEY FIT - that was a 9 inch loss since I last measured

Walking thru the mall my Grandson also called out loudly as he saw a larger person "Hey Grandpa Frumpy - look look you are not the biggest person in the Mall anymore"

Congratulations!!!! I have to say not being one of the largest people in a room anymore is a GREAT feeling! Keep up the good work!

Congratulations! That's a great achievement.

Word!!

Well done, thats awesome. Jeez i wouldnt want to have to buy clothes in asia, even at my size 6. In Bali, everyone was in hysterics at my feet - size nine, i mean not amazingly big, and they thought i was a giant!

Awesome job.

I had a pic up of me on the computer from the day of my surgery. My 5 year old pops up and goes, "Who is that?" Amazing that was me just a year and a half ago.

Oh, I know. With a few exceptions, I was always the fattest person in my class when I went to college. I always felt self-conscious and watched when I went out (and still do).

Congrats on the weight loss and downsizing- that's a great achievement

Congratulations!! I am looking forward to the day when I am not the fattest person in the room! That will be a great day!!

woooo hooooo. Gotta love the honesty of kids. Great job. :D
