The double-edged sword

Two weeks into the challenge my pants are fitting a little looser. Like a lot of men, I carry most of my excess weight in my gut and midsection. The pants are the first place I notice it when I drop some weight.

Which is why this whole losing weight thing is really a double edged sword: if you don't do it, you're going to have more health problems, feel disgusting and generally have a lower quality of life. But lose enough and you find you have to buy new clothes.

Less expensive than a by-pass, but still a pain...

Hmm, buying new clothes would be my favorite part... It's like a reward for all the hard work!

If someone else is buying your clothes, it's a blast.

If not, it's a mixed bag at best.
