I'm Large!

Guess what?!

I needed to buy a new coat since all my old ones got too big (and St.
Louis is cold, and in 2 weeks Boston is going to be even colder).

In May, during my last trip, I bought some XL size shirts, and they had
gotten large on me so I suspected this was going to happen, but I have
now confirmed: I am officially an ordinary L size!

Every shirt and jacket and coat I tried on that was ordinary L fit not
only comfortably, but somewhat loosely on me!

Wow! I can't believe it!

I'm Large!

I can remember when I was like 5L!

Yes! I'm wearing clothes that I haven't had on in a decade, and everyone
thinks I'm spending a fortune on a new wardrobe. It feels wonderful!! =c)

Doug, this is wonderfuL news. I am very happy for you.

So what weight are you down to? What weight equaLs a L? At 282, I can
wear some XL items, but often I need a 2XL.

Only in this group would readers understand that "I'm Large" is a god
thing. I hope you find a good warm coat.

Thanks for your messages, people.

In answer to various questions asked here, at one time I was wearing 3L
or 4L. I've even had 5L shirts before.

My current weight is 82.7 kg (I bought a WW scale yesterday so I'll be
able to keep up with my weekly reports from now while on my trip.)
