O.K. so I am not a fashion plate, never was. But today I got my first pair cycling shorts - I had ordered them from TE - great service, fast delivery. When I pulled them out of the envelope I thought, “No way my big overweight butt is gonna fit in those!” But I thought, well I will just wait until I have lost some more weight and try them then. But after our ride tonight, I went into the bedroom and tried them on and they fit great!! I was shocked. One thing about being overweight is you do not have a very realistic image of yourself when you lose alot of weight (I have lost over 55 lbs.) I can’t wait to wear them on our training ride tomorrow - they feel very comfy and while not being the best ones out there, at least they are a start. Hopefully I will be able to afford a decent cycling jersey as well later in the fall. Just wanted to share my joy!!
