Relearning to Tie a Tie

Surgery +8 Weeks

For the last few weeks, I have had to tie my ties twice.

When tying a tie, my goal has always been to have the tip of my tie reach my belt buckle. This has meant, because of my girth, that it has become second nature to make the narrow end of the tie very short.

Now that I have lost almost 60 pounds, this habit has resulted in a tie length that extends well past my belt. So I retie my tie.

I don't mind. The too-long tie is a fun reminder of just how much weight I have lost.
