Putting On A New Shirt
I was out and about today doing some grocery shopping for some more egg whites and chicken and I decided to stop at the mall. I figured it’s been like 8 months since I bought any new clothes whatsoever so I would take a look at some shirts. I went into American Eagle and was looking at their graphic tees. Decided to try on a shirt.
I was completely amazed how it fit. It was so freaking tight around the shoulders and chest. That size used to fit me decently. It was always somewhat tight, but it felt like it was spandex on my skin and I was stretching it just having it on. Damn, I looked good in the mirror, but I thought, when I start bulking in November again, I’m gonna get bigger. It’s not a matter of "if" I’m going to get bigger, it’s just a matter of when. I decided to take the next size up. I can’t wait for the day when I have to put on the XXL line of clothes. Unfortunately, since my waist is so small, I would look stupid in them. Looks like it spandex all the way.
Sometimes I get so caught up in the minor details like bodyfat, calories, training, that I just forget to measure progress in other areas. Putting on that new shirt told me something. All the eating, training, dieting, training, eating, sleeping, recovering, eating, training, eating, eating….has paid off. Purpose is never forgotten no matter how deep in the **** you are. Slow and steady for me is good. Hopefully the next time I put on a new shirt I’ll have to get another size up.

Sounds like you might need to find a tailor to alter those new shirts and jackets.
Congratulations on your progress!!!!!

That is the best. I will never forget the time when spring came around and I put on a short sleeve shirt I hadn’t worn in months and it was tight. That was such a great feeling!
