Shopping


My son called and asked if could help him shop for some new clothes today. Without any hesitation I agreed to his request. I knew this would be a fun shopping expedition.

I'm not quite sure what Paul's “Come to Jesus” moment was, but about a year ago he woke up one day and decided it was time to get serious about taking off the pounds he had packed on over the years. He joined a weight loss program with strict diet and a support group. He went the nutritionist and this time he really listened to the advice. He started exercising. He has slipped off the wagon a few times, but always just started back on his plan. He weighed 397 pounds last year. This morning he weighed 309 pounds. He has lost ten inches from his waist and his clothes were falling off of him.

Today he bought 2 pair of pants and four shirts. He is looking quite happy and handsome.

I am so very proud of him.
