I had been wearing the same huge men's shirts bought when I needed them, because they were comfy, all cotton, and expensive. Alone, or open over shells.
Camping, we buy exclusively Goodwill. I'm surprisingly able to fend off skeeters now, so evening outdoor sitting is a new toy, even IF cold.... At Goodwill, a men's size MUCH smaller looked good enough to wear for the upcoming cold evening, long-sleeve.... Hardi said, when I put it on, it fit perfectly and was CUTE. Now I can't seem to stop wearing it. I got a lot svelter than I knew! Time to check the scale and measurements again to mark a new baseline. I mean, I do not know this woman, but I need to get to know her ASAP. She fits into one mirror, for one thing. When was the last time THAT was true?!?
And all without focusing on diet or weight loss at all. Just having too much FUN. And eating constantly. Hardi makes me do it. Every 2 hours. When the rest of the world is stuffed from lunch, I'm eating the 2nd half of mine. The total and content are the same as anyone else ate, but without splitting it in half or thirds, it's instant pounds on (instead of instant pounds off).
This has been accompanied by many spontaneous, visceral memories of my very active 20's, 30's and early 40's. It would seem that ability is coming back, as well.
