this is such a wonderful thread. It is so encouraging. Makes me think of all the clothes that are in my closet that will one day fit again! Just the other day my hubby and I went fishing for the first time of the year on Saginaw Bay for walleye. I put on my insulated long johns...cause at this time of the year on the bay it can be cold out there. Anyway my long johns were loose in the butt. The last time I wore them they were tight. I've also noticed some of my tops are no longer tight.
