Hmm. I’ve been struggling with this lately. I am most grateful for those who don’t make a fuss about it and treat me exactly the same. It’s obviously noticeable (55 lbs) but I’ve gotten comments like “you look like a totally different person”. That puzzled/bugged me for a while, but now I’m grateful to have heard it…

Simply musing: let's say you have a $2,000/month unexpected windfall. You can spend it all but you want to save $500/month. Doesn't matter how you spend the other $1,500, as long as you enjoy it. I may want to spend it all on getting manicures and (non-toxic) rainbow dyes for ponies, because that makes me happy. I can…

Bagged salad as a base + toppings = lunch changes every day. So many varieties of bagged salad these days (lettuce, spinach, cabbage, kale etc.), I grab anything that looks fresh. I don't use the dressing or the toppings in the baggies. Protein: chopped chicken/egg/tuna/cooked shrimp/tempeh. Veggies: sky's the limit. I try…

Haven't really noticed a difference but then again I take up a lot of room metaphorically speaking. Always being the shortest kid (with glasses) and on the round end of the spectrum, I had to develop a killer personality to satisfy my deeply social nature. As an adult, I am the person that random strangers will tell the…

Yay, I get to continue talking about my Victoria Secret adventure! :D They basically brought in every model that fit my requirements & I ended up choosing one that I wouldn't have picked out for myself in a million years: Perfect Coverage, Body by Victoria. No padding, super comfy, great deal when on sale. Looked biiiig…

So. Much. This. I literally had a lightbulb moment a week ago as I dragged my VERY grumpy self to Victoria Secret to pick out a new bra, something that would resemble some sort of *right fit*. I *knew* I had to be either a size X or size Y & VERY begrudgingly let them size me. Turns out I was wayyyy off. I burst into…

Not ridiculous at all!! I've definitely been there. I look at it in the grand scheme of things. I'm in it for the long haul and it helps me to remind myself of that. What's one bad day/week? I log it anyways, no matter how much I'm over. I didn't exercise for a week & it would have been so, so easy to just say "eff it, I'm…

Me too!!! I just pulled three pairs out of the drier!!! First time I dried my jeans - hope it works!! 2nd NSV: swapped out my Fitbit band to the small size. Feeling pretty smug.

1) The security guard in my building sees me Mon-Thur. Last week's convo: Him: have you been hitting the gym? Me: nope. Been counting calories! (said with a chest-puffed-out-in-pride kinda tone) Him: well. You're looking very well so it made me wonder. Cause I see you come in every day and lately there's been a lot less of…

Just want to quickly point out that lactose-free isn't exactly the same as dairy-free. In the original post it "lactose-free" was mentioned. I only point it out b/c as a lactose-intolerant, dairy-loving fiend, I have learned to find the most fantastic products that satisfy my cravings for dairy while not completely…

Every piece I tried on at the store today had to be traded for a medium. Every. Single. Piece. I have not seen a medium anything in many, many years (well, maybe gloves). Even though I'm nowhere near done (and proudly told the sales lady this), I bought two pieces because one can be taken in (I fully plan on doing that,…
