Dropping Clothing Sizes

Lose 40 Pounds in 80 Days

> SOME REAL ADVANTAGES

You'll have to fight this second weight loss battle, that of your friends, when their admiration has turned to jealousy, jealousy to envy, envy to hate!

Only your best girl friend and wife will really know what the difference has meant! And if the envy boys knew about that, they'd conk out in a jealous rage!

Misery loves company. When the extra weight he's carrying around has slowed down a fat boy's love life, he wants all the other fat boys to be the same way. He doesn't like one of 'em to turn into a slim tomcat again!

Your wife won't be the only one to notice the difference, either. You, too, will realize you tire less easily, have more pep, can overeat at times knowing you can pull back down over a three-day period - while poor Fat Boy, he's always trying to lose weight, or feeling guilty because he isn't.

You have 40 pounds to go again before you are a Fat Boy, so you can relax, confident you can win any further diet battles; meanwhile poor Fatso, your former friend, must still watch his calories.

Once more you sit back with those 36-inch menus, and rattle off a meal that Nero would have drooled over, while the eyes of your Fatty friends pop out.

"He reduces on that?" they think.

Then they order their so-called birdlike meals, thinking they are doing the wise thing. Actually their bird food is twice as fattening as your scientifically chosen food.

You won't sweat so much as your butterball buddies. This will make them mad, too. But you have less fat to hold moisture for sweating purposes.

You will get compliments in front of them that will further annoy them, especially when a cute thing floats into the room and says, "My - what a fine figure of a man!" or words to that effect. One look at your kisser as you simper proudly and they'll hate the ground you walk on.

When their clothes bulge and split, and you stand up without a wrinkle in the seat - this will boil them over. They'll look down on the sacks they're forced to wear, all that surplus equipment from the Tent Dept., and they'll really grind their teeth.

Yes, sir, you'll lose friends as a skinny. They'll snub you like barflies snub a reformed drunkard.

But you'll make NEW friends - fast.

MY FAT BOY'S CLOTHES

It's expensive to lose weight.

If I were a South Sea Islander, it would be easy. I could just wrap my sarong a little tighter. But with civilized duds it's different. You can adjust your suits two sizes, but when you drop from 47 down to 42, then the rear pants pockets come together after the tailor removes 3 inches or so in the seat.

Your coat makes you look gaunt and unfed.

Your collars have that "poor boy" look that artists like to affect.

Your belts are wrapped twice around the middle, and your undershirts feel sloppy and slide down. No bay window to hold them up!

For a time it's fun pulling up the belt in front of envious friends and saying, "Look how much I've lost!"

But after a time this wears off - as your friends disappear and new ones take over. Then you must invest in new clothes.

I waited three months to make sure my weight was going to stay put. When it stayed pegged at 186, then I sold all my fat boy's clothes so that I could never ever be tempted to try to fit back into them.

I bought an entire new outfit. I didn't want those nice fat boy's clothes to worry me in the closet; I didn't want to get to thinking about how all those fine suits were going to waste in there - and maybe start going to waist again myself. So I sold every one of them to keep temptation away.

I highly recommend this procedure.
