Default I finally did it.

To set up the story:
We had just moved 15yds of bark on Saturday (85+ degrees) and neither of us felt like cooking so we decided to go out to eat.

So after taking a shower i put on some shorts (way to big for me but to lazy, or being a guy, have not bought any new ones) and then i did it..



I TUCKED my shirt in and my stomach did not fall all out over the top..


YEAHHH FOR ME...


So then I thought about it and started digging through my drawers and looking in the closet and i found it...yes.....

A BELT...the dreaded belt you wife bought you and was way way to small to get around my fat butt and waste. SO i take a deep breathe and say ok i will give it a shot..
and..

IT went around my still to big butt and waist but i was able to put it approx 2 inches past hte buckle..

I was so pumped I had to go tell my wife (who is very supportive of this WOE) and I say " Do you see something you havent seen in a while? "
She says 'Umm you shaved? " lol ok i am on vacation and havent shaved in a few days hah.
I say 'NO"

then she goes OMG you have your shirt tucked in and you even fluffed your shirt out.......

So was a good night for me...to bad we were both dead tired from moving 15yds of bark...well maybe :: wink wink nudge nudge next time..

Thumbs up That is so awesome!

Congratulations on both the tuck-in and the belt! It is such a great feeling to finally fit in those clothes - and the belt just makes it that much better!

Now ya just need to recover from the yard work...
