the "fat shirt" ...

background
my sis got for me these 2 shirts a while back, and they were just a little too tight for me. this black one could at least fit snugly at that time, but as time went by and business trips began to increase in frequency, that black shirt became tighter at the mid-section. i had 2 colleagues who would tell me that i was fatter each time i wore that shirt, with the lady saying "your tummy is growing... how many months already?" the shirt went back into the wardrobe and did not see the light of day for some time.

present
and so when i saw the shirt last weekend, i was a little surprised and disgusted that the shirt was a little moldy. this meant that i had been out of shape for pretty long ! with my recent bouts of illness, training for the marathon and the marathon itself, i had finally slimmed down sufficiently, and could put on that shirt without looking too bad. phew...

not sure how long my "slimness" would last, but perhaps, i should just chuck this shirt away when it does not fit again this time round.
