While out grocery shopping, on the way back to the car, I had to push the cart with one hand and use the other to keep from letting my shorts fall down around my ankles. These are my favorite shorts, unfortunately. But, hey, I will take it! Better give up the favorites than keep the weight!

I had to leave behind some of my favorite clothes! Kinda hated to see them go. My leather jacket I swim in now. My buddy bought a nearly new one from another guy that fits me like a glovve now!
I lost my drawers carrying bags of groceries once and again when I got out of the truck early one morning. Thankfully no one saw!
Get yourself some new shorts! LOL! Enjoy it!
Mamma got me some new jeans and shirts last week. Went from a 58 pants to a 38 (men's waist size) and a 20 4xl shirt to a 17.5 xl. Nice to have new duds! Thinkin to go to the thrift shop. Now they got stuff my size. Used to be nothing was ever big enough! Think it took a whole cow hide to make my other jacket! LOL!
