Fitting Room > Scale

I stopped by a tailor today to have a pair of nice shorts taken in. That alone is pretty wild. They’re a size 38**.**

Afterward, I went to the same brand’s store to shop for some slacks.

I started by trying on a 36. Too big.

Asked for a 35. Better, but still a little loose in the waist.

The salesperson smiled and said, “Let’s try a 34.”

🎯 Perfect.

I honestly can’t remember the last time I bought a pair of 34-inch pants.

Let that sink in for a second…
The shorts I had altered this morning? Size 38. Same brand**.**

The scale has its place, but moments like this remind me that body composition is changing even when the numbers don’t always tell the whole story.
