I gotta STOP these EXPENSIVE LONG LUNCHES!!!

Okay, who's on my team and who needs a group intervention? Hahahahahaha!!!

I've hit a Starbucks drive-thru for my Venti Iced NF latte for lunch... then I swing over to Ross... hell, they got me last Friday for $168 and then again yesterday for another $168. True, I went in to see if they had a different size in a Calvin Klein jacket that I had bought... sure enough they did... so I bought that knowing I'd return the other size at home... then I received SO many compliments and looks on some Calvin Klein yoga pants yesterday I bought more pairs in black, deep charcoal and light charcoal... and a light charcoal top to match... then I saw a cute deep charcoal sweater coat by BCBGirls and tried it on in the store... three different people walked by and made comments like, "that looks great on you, I hope you buy it"... when does this ever happen??? So, I bought that too! I'm usually not this bad, but I HAVE NO FALL/WINTER clothes that fit and these are so freaking HOT and a fraction of the price and in season, I couldn't resist!!! Hahahahaha!!!

Now, fess-up Cali crew what have you filled your closets with?

I'm only emptying my closets right now with the "I shrunk outta's"  and filling with the one's I'd saved and hoped to someday get back into.  But, my time will come soon enough.  I have told my hubby he needs to start saving $100 a month to take me on a shopping spree when I hit goal weight/size.  He'd better listen cuz this is gonna cost him!!!!

Maureen,

Don't go on too big of a shopping spree when you hit goal. I did and boy was I sorry. I hit my "perfect" size of 12 and was at goal weight and got a little crazy. ALL of those clothes are too big. I dropped a whole nother size and about 15 more pounds. I've been stable in a size 10 for a while now. Just FYI!

Enjoy!

I hit lowest goal of 145 and went lower to 134, held off on the clothes shopping until after plastics at 129 where I think I should rest. A lot of these items are stretchy just incase my body changes more. Gotta tell ya between Marshall's and Ross... and I'm a true clothes hound having formerly lived in NYC and SF and working in retail advertising with all the discounts... these stores ROCK!!! In season merch which I see at Nordstrom, Saks, Bloomies and Macys. These discounters are my saving grace. Now, I just need more CLOSET!!!

Love It!!! I can't wait until all this swelling goes down and I can buy new pants for winter. I'm already buying tops that are on clearance now, and are sleeveless....I wouldn't buy sleeveless before because I was so self-conscious, but now that I LOVE my new arms......I'm gonna flaunt them!!!

Now, I KNOW there's GREAT shopping in the bay area! These stores are deeply discounting things early in season. Nothing like I've ever seen and I've worked retail as well as retail advertising.

Hey, time to fill the closets! I should remodel my pantry and turn it into a closet! Hahahahaha!!!

What a great feeling!

I've been filling my closet with Hand me downs! Got any??? LOL Kidding.

Enjoy the WOW

Size 10 you say? I may have a few... Heading out to Palm Springs anytime? Hey, it's fun isn't it?

And to think I used to wear chubbettes as a child ... GASP!!!

Ross is dangerous for sure! Last time I was there, I had to restrain myself, but as soon as my hernias are gone, I will be going there. They have the cutest clothes for the best prices!!!
Luckily most of my new clothes have been hand me downs!!

it's ok sweetie, you are worth it and you look mahvelous!!! We want to see some pictures of you in these new duds!!!
bigg huggs, Becky

another dangerous place is H and M.  Dang I though I wa the only venti nonfat latte gal.  :).   I went crazy with clothes last winter and I cant fit in any of them.  So gotta get new stuff soon.  I have somecords that fit but i dont want to wear cords every day.
