You never know where you’ll get the encouragement you need. I got the boost this weekend as I got once before.
A few months ago, I was at my youngest brother’s house and his wife, Amanda, along with my other brother’s wife, Deanna, both were making fun of my jeans to my wife, Amy. They both commented that my jeans were way too baggy and I really needed to get some new ones.
I did and got rid of my size 48 jeans. It was a veiled compliment and I’ll take them as often as I can.
This past weekend, Amanda once again told me that I needed to get new jeans (maybe she thought I had not done so the last time). I was wearing size 44×32 relaxed fit jeans!
So today Amy and I went to Walmart and I picked up four more pairs of jeans. I got two 44×32 normal fit (not relaxed fit) for $10 each and two 42×32 normal fit at $8 each. For $36, I’ve got four new pairs of jeans.
This gave me the incentive to go through my closet and remove all of my 46×32 jeans (two blue, 1 black and 1 tan). I also went through my shorts and separated about 6 pair that were all 46 (the rest are also still 46, but I need to keep them until I replace them as well).
So soon, I’ll be offering the jeans and shorts as another “great” giveaway as Tony has done recently.

We live for those compliments, don’t we? Good idea to get rid of the fat clothes…you don’t want to have the option of needing them later on. That’s the thinking I’ve had in my own situation.
