I'm thinking of browsing website for old people's aids to see if there isn't something I could use. It's fine at the lake because I have buddies to help, but it's a problem for the beach - I've had to ask complete strangers to help before now

But oddly, i've had a lot of trouble trying to zip it up in the last few months despite having lost 10lbs! if it was the other way round i'd understand, but it's strange that i'm having issues despite losing weight.
