I know. If I get rid of them the less I'll be inclined to be scared I will

get back into them. I also bought some smaller clothes. I have been

getting compliments at work. Someone asked me if I was new there. I said

no I have been there a while. She said no there was a big woman that used

to work there. I said, Oh, she died.....I keep quoting a saying I got from

Leach's book. Nothing tastes as good as thin feels. So off to

the Thrift shop my old clothes go.
