Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for August 19, 2023

If you ever got older I’d say you were shrinking.

I lost weight and bought new clothes. I gained weight and wore the old new clothes. Nobody knew I’d lost weight. Everyone knew I gained weight.

Fun fact — I’ve lost a ton of weight over the past two years (50 pounds!) I carry all my weight around my waist so I naturally assumed I’d lose it all from there. NOPE! I’m smaller all over, but I’ve still got a big belly. Finding clothes to fit is actually even harder now than it was before. Sorry Cathy, but our bodies are clearly against us.

I think Cathy had better check the calibration of her scale – either that or she sets it so it reads low.

Off to opening night of “Finding Nemo Jr.”. Should be a fun night. I hope everyone else has a fun night too.

I lost weight when I had my foot surgery…about 6 lbs…didn’t make any difference in how my clothes fit.

Sometimes ya just can’t win with the weight loss, huh, comic Cathy? Bummer.

And to quote Sheldon Cooper: “If ifs and buts were fruits and nuts, we’d all have a Merry Christmas.” Ha.

HI, MOM. Hello, Clan.
