Kilted Weight Loss

[Riverkilt]

So, the candy machine at work broke and no one could fix it. I didn't realize how much I'd been "grazing" there and lost 20 pounds in a few weeks. They fixed the machine and I've managed to stay away. "Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels." So kept away from the candy, started eating smaller portions, exercising more.

Now I'm down 30 pounds. Life has kept me from kilting up for some time. Tonight my agency had a big holiday party so what the heck. I kilted up in my hand sewn Isle of Skye only to have it fall to the floor. Took the kilt straps in three more notches and it seemed to hold. I choose not to wear a belt with my kilt and tonight wore a vest in lieu of a sporran so no sporran strap to help.

Got to the party and the kilt started slipping down! Went to the rest room and tightened the kilt straps another notch on each side....back at the party it was still sliding down...took it in two more notches on each side again!

Many of my coworkers have never seen me kilted and I got the usual compliments and stories of their own Scottish ancestry.

When I got home I could still inhale and the kilt fell to the floor.

Weird part is I always thought I'd outgrow my kilts rather than get too skinny for them.
