It has finally warmed up in northern Michigan and in response I have pulled out my shorts, capris, and various summer clothes. And just like the last two years, I did not fit into the clothes that I pulled out.

But this year, it was because the clothes I pulled out were too big.

I pulled on one pair of shorts that I wore a lot last year, and I knew I would no longer be able to wear them. The room at the waist was more than five inches. Even a belt wouldn’t help.

I also added new holes in my belt because it needed it again.

Although I hate shopping, I find that Iam a lot less resentful when I am buying new clothes because my old ones are too big. Woohoo!
