Another notch on the belt...

Ric from Country 105 wrote in his "Herbal One Experience Blog" that he was stuck between two notches on his belt, thanks to all the weight-loss.

I've been having a similar problem.

The belt I bought back in the fall - long before I started on Herbal One - is WAAAAYYYY too big for me now. It's main purpose in life - to hold up pants - has expired. It's become more or less a fashion accessory. The only thing I can really do with it is put my cell-phone belt clip on it. That's it!

Something you need to know about me is that I am ridiculously cheap when it comes to clothing. This is true as long as you don't count that $200 Ottawa Senators sweater I own, but it's not part of my regular wardrobe so it doesn't count in my book.

Now because I'm so cheap, I refuse to buy a new belt. Plus, I kinda like the one I have now. It's got a big buckle on it and it reeks of coolness...among other smells. I'm not willing to part with it simply because it no longer fits; so I've come up with a new solution: I'll just make my own notches.

A few weeks ago I added my own notch using a very delicate method of poking a hole at random in the belt using the sharpest knife I could find in my kitchen. It was at the point I realized I probably should have taken the belt off before making the hole. Once the bleeding stopped I was in business with my "new" belt.

Anyway, it was kind of cool this morning when after only a few weeks not only had the scar healed but I also needed to make yet another new notch in my belt.

Remember my blog from a few weeks ago about buying new jeans? Well it looks like it's almost time to retire the "new pair" since I'm still getting smaller and smaller by the day...unless I can figure some way to make them smaller myself....I'll be sure to have the ambulance on stand-by.
