Even though comedian Jim Gaffigan has lost 50 pounds and dropped two pants sizes — there are still some things he can’t seem to let go of from his old life. In a recent interview with Men’s Health to discuss his new Hulu special, “The Skinny,” Gaffigan divulged why he still keeps his “fat clothes.”

While Jim Gaffigan is proud of his weight loss journey, he can’t help but hold on to some of his “fat clothes” from the past. “Maybe I’m a pack rat, but I’m like, ‘I can’t get rid of that,’” Gaffigan,

In stand-up routines, he’s unpacked the shame of going to McDonald’s, the grotesque joy of Waffle House, and (perhaps most famously) the ultra-processed wonder that is a Hot Pocket. Gaffigan has gone down two pants sizes since then. He’s turned from Dad Is Fat (his 2013 New York Times best seller) into Slim Jim.

Jim Gaffigan is trying to adjust to his recent weight loss. In an interview with Men’s Health, published Nov. 19, the comedian, 58, discussed his weight loss journey and new stand-up special, The Skinny. He explained why he mentioned in the Hulu special that since dropping 50 lbs., he’s still inclined to keep his “fat clothes.”

Gaffigan admitted to having trepidation to use the medication, a brand name for tirzepatide, after tipping the scales at 270 pounds.

"There’s people walking around that obviously do not have blonde hair – yet they do. I don’t think that’s weird either. It’s just whatever gets you through."
