Living Large
Over the last year, I've put on a little weight. And by "a little" I mean close to twenty pounds. And while weight has always been easy for me to lose, I'm finding that's no longer the case. Hello, mid-30s!
This was driven home for me recently when my groovy new Mule-designed U.S OUT OF CALIFORNIA shirt arrived in the mail. It, like every other T-shirt I've purchased over the past five to seven years, was a size medium. And it fit like a grape skin over a watermelon. U.S. OUT OF MY BELLY is more like it.
My secret shame proceeds me everywhere I go. I'm embarrassed and ashamed, and afraid to enter the bathroom anymore with the lights on. I shower in my robe. Sleep in an oxford. Swim in a chador.
I think it's time to hit the Koret Center.

Oh crap! Those are American Apparel shirts Mat! Their sizing SUCKS it, they're always at least one size too small. You always have to order at least one size up, maybe two even. And they recently have started making them REALLY long and even tighter.
Check out the sizing chart, I'm sure I can get you another one.
Yes, well, see, the thing is I once wore a size M from American Apparel. But if they have resized them that's good news. I guess. I did notice it seemed longer. The bathroom scale still hates me.
If you'll excuse me now I have some cake to finish....
The Nike+ should whip you back into shape in no time, motivation at its best!
