I need a belt, badly

Though I have become aware of this fact over the last couple of months, the reality of it all hit me the hardest while I was out enjoying my Italian adventure the other week: I don’t fit into my pants anymore. That’s right kiddies, somehow yours truly managed to shed about 20 lbs. (9 kilos) over these past seven months. I was around 185 lbs (84 kilos) before I left the USA.

I’m fine when I walk around because my big ol’ butt keeps the pants from actually falling straight off — but if I conduct even a slight jog forget it, down they start coming. The funny thing about it is that it’s not like I’m starving myself or anything. I think it’s just the combination of being more physically active by walking around more frequently, as well eating smaller portions of food at any given time being the two main culprits for the weight loss.

I’m told I don’t look bad being a bit leaner, and certainly I feel more energetic on a regular basis. Which got me thinking about how I could have been heavier back in the states in the first place?! I think besides the lack of excercise, and eating big meals in few sittings it’s all that corn syrup that’s loaded into food back home. At least that’s one theory a fellow compatriot & classmate offered, but I tend to agree. Too much additives and junk in our food these days. It also helps to get off the couch once in a while too.

Whatever the reasons for sheding the extra pounds, I’m just sick of having to pull up my trousers every 15 minutes so I’m hunting down a half-decent priced belt today since I can’t buy new pants anytime soon. Wish me luck.
