If you’ve been reading 4XLT for a while, you will remember my mentions of a Seahawks jersey I bought two sizes deliberately too small back in late December. I hung it on my bedroom wall and used the jersey for visual inspiration. I wanted to lose enough weight to fit in that thing by the start of the 2008 season!

It’s just that now I’ve got a problem.

I fit in my jersey (I wore it to the game last weekend). I need some new too-small clothes to use as visual inspiration.

So, I was at Target earlier this week for some odds and ends and decided to try out a pair of size 42 jeans. You never know, right? What if? Ah, what the hell, why not!

The pair of Levi’s fit… snuggly. In fact, way too snuggly. Even though I can technically proclaim that I wear size 42 jeans and have returned to the world of normality (at least with jeans – finding shirts and jackets in Tall sizes is an exercise in futility), I won’t – yet.

The fact is that I won’t go prancing out and about in the 42s yet, but I do think they look good on my wall in place of my jersey.

I can’t wait to be at a point where I can legitimately get away with wearing size 42s, because it’s right at 42 that most stores start carrying jeans in their “normal” clothing sections.

And I gotta say, it’ll be nice to be normal.
