Tightening the Belt

Well, this morning I realized something. I was putting the pokey thingy through the fourth hole on my belt rather than the third hole.

I have no idea what the proper vocabulary words are for men’s belts. I’m “latching” it tighter? “Cinching” it tighter?

Anyway, there are only 5 holes on this belt and I’m now wearing it latched/cinched 4 deep because 3 felt too loose this morning. It will be interesting to see how long it takes for 4 to feel too loose, then for 5 to feel too loose. I think the day I have to give up this belt for a smaller one is going to be one of those real landmark days on my diet and fitness program.

The numbers on the scale are nice, but when you have to get a smaller belt, that’s about as tangible as the results get.
