<human>: The pants aren't all that special, I knew that I was fitting a size smaller, I just had to head out to the thrift store and buy some. The shirts, however...I was walking through Boston Store, and I thought to myself, "I wonder if I can wear what stores consider to be their customer's range now." Grabbed a 2x shirt and it was a pretty good fit. Grabbed a zip up sweater just to be sure, and sure enough, it wasn't a fluke. I almost dropped 80 bucks on the sweater right there until I realized I was only months away from an xl and not much further from a plain ol' L. Can't believe I was in 4x t-shirts in July.

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: Fit into 2x shirts after 8 weeks of diet. Didn't dump cash on a new sweater when I'm just gonna be smaller by xmas anyway.
