Buy Blue Pants.....

Let me be honest for a minute.  (Imagine us all sitting around a campfire baring our souls)  Normally this is not a post or comment made by guys, but for me it is a celebration.  This last weekend, I decided I needed some new Levis/pants/jeans whatever.  I had lost a bit of weight and was tired of cinching up all my pants causing them to bunch and bag. 
When I walked into the store, I headed directly for the section with all the denim.  I grabbed a pair of pants and headed to the fitting room.  Buttoning the pants it did not take me long to realize, they were the wrong size.  I went back to the denim and grabbed the next size DOWN.  They fit pert near perfectly.  This was a fairly exciting moment for me as I the first pair I picked up was actually 2 sizes smaller than the tight pair of jeans I had been wearing when I started on the diet.  This means I am down 3 sizes which is actually six numbers.  Yep, I went from size 78 to size 72.  :-)  Okay, that might be exaggerated on the current sizes, but I wanted to pick a numbers to demonstrate.
It is not easy, but I do feel like I am doing it the right way.  Portion control and healthier eating.  Not a crash of fad of some kind.  But one I am confident I can live with long-term.
That is all!  Just wanted you to think of me, next time you Buy Your Blue Pants.
