Friday weigh-in

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Fashion| Weigh in

Down .8 this week… didn’t expect much since I had such a huge drop last week. Plus the exercise has been laughable. I’m ok with it (the weight loss, not the lack of exercise).
Fortunately my New Rules of Lifting for Women should be arriving today. I’ll spend the weekend reading the book and dive head [...]

I totally just ordered this as my 30 lb loss reward:

I probably don’t have any business wearing something like this, but I am in love with this shirt!!

A farewell to Lane Bryant

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Fashion

LB, for the past 3 or 4 yeasr, we got acquainted with each other. Sometimes I questioned your flowery, foofy muumuu-type tops, but for the most part, you always had something cute and not-standard fat people clothes (albeit, way overpriced). I tried to ignore the fact that I didn’t want to be there, didn’t think [...]

Reunited, and it feels so good…

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Fashion| Food| Running is my life

I have a few things to be happy about!
1) I’m a size smaller in tops now! I went shopping for some new work clothes (finally decided it was time to start dressing my age.. I’m almost 27 for crying out loud!) and found a cute dark blue blouse that fits perfectly. It’s a 14/16 when [...]

Wow

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Fashion| Food| Weigh in

Today (TOM and all) I stepped on the scale fully expecting to see a gain, given we ate out last night and while I was healthy, I overate maybe by 100 calories or so from dinner once I got home and totaled everything up. So I did my DVD for 40 minutes and hoped things [...]

Sacrifice…and stuff

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Fashion| Food| Weigh in

After much thought, I decided to give up fast food for Lent. I’m Lutheran and while it’s not mandatory to give up something (they don’t even really push it), I’ve always felt it was appropriate given the meaning behind Lent, and looked forward to doing something every year that would remind me of sacrifice.
I REALLY [...]

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Fashion

Tonight I put on some black pants that I haven’t been able to button in quite some time. I zipped them up and tried buttoning them….and walla! Buttoned AND without squeezing… able to eat a fine V-day meal with the hubby without feeling the need to unbutton at the end… I’m AMAZED! And motivated!!
For the [...]

What do you want from me?

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Fashion

Sometimes that’s what I ask of the weight gods. What the heck do you want from me?
I got my Christmas dress in the mail today. It fits - Kiyonna wasn’t kidding about the size charts. I just have a really fat, ugly, flabby body. I don’t look good in it at all. It would look awesome [...]

Christmas dress!

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Fashion

Being as the hubs and I both work for companies that like to throw parties, I needed to find a new Christmas dress to wear this year. I looked high and low at David’s Bridal, where I got my last dress (which I love!) I wore it to two years of company Christmas parties, and [...]
