Stife, Struggles, and Stress

Wow, it has been way too long since I have blogged. You may be asking yourself, what's been going on with her. Well, let me tell you. The reason I have not blogged is because of all the stuff going on in my life. I have been getting thrown curve balls from every direction. I have stumbled a few times, but have gotten right back up.

I'm not really sure what all to say. Most of what I have been going through is personal and stuff I don't really want to share.

So, now that I have your curiousity peeked. I will change the subject.

I have slowed down my weight loss. I haven't stopped all together, just toned it down. I guess for a couple of reasons. #1 is because I think it was necessary. I lost a lot of weight really quickly and to keep it healthy, I think it was best that the process be slowed a bit. #2 I had given up so many things, that it was time that I gave in and treated myself to some of the things I hadn't eaten in over 6 months. #3 is that I finally spent my Christmas money from last year on some new clothes and I would kind of like to wear them for a while before I have to give them away.

Which brings me to my shopping trip. I went a couple of weekends ago to spend the money I had been saving on a new wardrobe. I was a bit intimidated because it had been a long time since I had done any serious shopping and even then, I pretty much hated it. I remember going into the dressing room with about 7 items and coming out with nothing or maybe 1 thing that actually fit. Well, this shopping trip was not like that at all! I took 6 things into the dressing room and everything fit me wonderfully! So, I took 6 more things in, and they all fit! Wow, now I was faced with an actual decision to make. I had to choose what items I would purchase and what items I would leave behind. That decision was not made for me based on what fit me. It was an awesome feeling. I really can't wait to shop again!

In case you were wondering. I'm down to 168 lbs. 82 lbs lost and only 18 to go. I can't believe I have made it this far.
