I love your word - thinnerness! Like you, I have plenty of clothes to wear. And I WILL get rid of things that are too big. My biggest flaw is sweats. Moving out of things with elastic (was my biggest size) has been so freeing.
I'll have to buy me some long johns to wear under my jeans. I don't think it would look very nice to wear sweats over my jeans.
My drugs are taking effect, so off to bed I go. Will this stuff ever leave my body? I don't see the doctor again until next week. Tomorrow will be a better day.
