comfortable fit

Sometime after I landed in south Florida I went clothes shopping with Dragnot and his wife in a local outlet mall. One of the items I bought was a pair of docker's relax fit pants. The waist's size was 33". Back then I was somewhere between 33 to 34" in in waist size and I thought that I will be able to keep my weight and even go down a little so those pants seemed like a good buy. What followed for the next year was a (lets say) "controlled" weight gain. At the pick of my weight gain my waist size went to 38 to 39" (almost the 40" waist I had back in Telmap's days). I was very displeased with the fact that I had to go back to wearing my old 40" docker's and only dreaming about being able to wear the 33" waist pants I had in the closet.
6 months ago I enrolled myself into the quick weight loss program (a program similar to weight watchers) and started dieting. I started losing weight quickly enough (there's even a post about me going under the 200 Lbs mark). Even though in recent weeks I've pretty much stopped with the program, my eating habits have changed enough to not only to keep my weight, but keep losing.
Come yesterday: I was wearing a 36" waist pants that when I opened the belt buckle simply fell off of me. I knew that these pants are now kind large on me, but falling to my ankle just like that I didn't expect. This was a sign for a bold move: take out the 33" docker's and try them on:
so doubtingly I took them out and thought that they wouldn't fit me.
I'm happy to write that I was proven wrong: they fit me perfectly!!! I was nothing short of amazed, happy and thrilled :-) I can't even recollect when was the last time that I was able to wear 33" waist pants.
