So, today at Costco, I bought some pants. I’ve been bouncing around between a 44-inch and 46-inch waist, but my wife noted that the 46-inchers are looking cinched like the top of a bag when I belt up. So they’re about to get dumped. The 44-inchers are also a bit loose, so the next step down is 42-inchers. I’ve got a pair of 40s in the closet that I was somehow reluctant to throw away, and they’re a pair of goal pants too, but I decided that I’d get the 42s for a more attainable goal and to have at least one pair of pants that isn’t bunching up under my belt as I move toward the 40s.
The eventual goal is to get down to a 34-inch or 36-inch waist. Based on when I went from 237 to 182 when I was 18 (and 18 was the last time I saw my 180s), I wear a 34-inch waist in my 180s. Of course, that was 22 years ago, summer of ‘87, when I had absolutely no dating skills to go with my newfound hotness. Sigh.
Of course, now I have dating skills, but I’m married, so all that rediscovered hotness will be wasted on a woman who already wants to sleep with me. But, then again, I’ve been lagging behind her in the hotness department for some time now, so even if the hotness balance tips in my favor, I’ve got years of hotness indebtedness to pay off.
Anyhoo, I’ll try on the 42s after next week’s weigh-in and let y’all know how they fit (or didn’t).

Sorry dude, but even at a 34″ waist you’re going to be lagging behind in the looks department compared to your sweetie. If it makes you feel any better, I’ve always lagged behind my smarter half in the looks department and she is working her way up to doing major hacks on her Jeep so she’s mechanically inclined too. I think she just stays with me for my mad DJ skillz.
@Steve – Just because you don’t find me particularly attractive, don’t be hating on my hotness goals.
As for your missus, she’s with you because of your deep spirituality… as evidenced by that ordainment certificate from the Universal Life Church you’re sportin’ there.
