Yesterday I unveiled my Wednesday Weigh-In. And Petra was kind enough to comment that the post didn't really tell her what kind of shape I'm in. So I decided to add my height and waist measurements. I figured I'd just measure my waist this morning and quietly edit yesterday's post.
That was before I saw that my waist is 4" bigger than I expected! WTF!
Okay, I know that my 34" waist pants are a big snugger and my muffin top would alarm any competent cardiologist. But 38"? That's serious fatness!
I suppose I might not be pulling the tape tight enough. I was able to get it down to 37" with just slight tautness. And I breathe diaphragmatically, like a good singer does (but I sing like a bad one), so my girth changes constantly.
Or maybe the tape, being cloth, somehow got in the wash and shrunk about 10%. Yes, the more I think about it, the more I realize that the measurement is in error. You believe me, don't you?
Oh well. It is what it is. I know my readers will appreciate the honesty and motivate me to slim down.
Thank you.

I outweigh you by 100+ pounds.
