What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu?

Remind me what you do for work. It sounds very busy.

You can definitely see a difference between the 2 phots. I can also see your jawline is much sharper in the second. You are doing so great. Keep up the excellent work and progress.

I messaged you. :) And yep, there are some subtle and some not so subtle differences, which is kind of fun to see. Thank you! Everyone here helps drive the inspiration to succeed!

Great Job.

You can see a big difference in the two photos, u look amazing. I am very envious of your neck and jawline! You can get a lot more mileage out of the larger size tops if you get some snug well fitting pants to balance. I am still employing that tactic. I bought way too many clothes on the way down, mostly thrifted but quality. I just recycled them back quickly with just a few wears. The closer you get to goal the quicker the size changes.

Thank you! Like I said...kind of melting from the top. Lighting doesn't show it but my cheekbones and collar bones show quite clearly, now. I'm grateful for my wrists, fingers, and toes beginning to thin out since they've always stubbornly held onto fat.

Appreciate the feedback on clothes! I've only purchased a few strategic things so far, most at Goodwill on half tag prices, and everything else but bras on clearance. I have had to make a bit of an investment there since my band size has gone from 46 to 36 and support is necessary! It's probably where I've spent the most so far. Sounds like you were able to cycle through pretty well! I hope you keep sharing. :)

Got a bit of a wakeup call from the folks at work last week since I normally wear an oversized top. That day, I was wearing a size medium clearance hoodie I picked up for $5 to keep from freezing in the office. It's been living on the back of my office chair because obviously it didn't fit yet for the last couple of months. Except it did, and because it did, one of the EA's made a comment to me that I look really small these days. I love the large tops. They're comfortable and almost like a security blanket. Hmm.

I do still get a kick out of the fact that I wear everything from mediums to extra larges because of sizing inconsistencies. Ah, women's clothes!

Wow, you're slaying it! I am sorry that you have to deal with that problem constantly. It would be nice if the police can just arrest the guy based on everything that has happened. People like that have serious issues that need to be addressed for society's good, as well as his own good.

Thanks, Matt! So are you with your revival Kess top! Rocking it.

You know...on one hand, I agree. On the other, I know this person is immature with anger issues that I doubt have improved with time, especially given the research I did to get his info recently.

Much as I really, really just want him to leave me alone, there's a chance if I pursue it, that could spark a fire. The deputy even asked me if I had just told him to leave me alone. Thanks, bud. :)

Seriously though, people doing these kinds of things for this long have not learned healthy life or coping skills. He needs help. Or at least to move on!

Hope all your family, school, and personal things are all moving in good directions today! Cheers.

Good mornin everyone! Those are gorgeous cookies!

Not a lot to do today. We may run to Michaels but we'll see, I am still working on chainmaille and it's keeping me sane-ish...lol

The pain has been really bad in my legs, making it hard to function and walk well. I'm also really itchy and this binder is driving me nuts! I am extremely long waisted...at 6'1" you'd think my inseam would be long but mines only 32". The binder tends to roll when I'm sitting regardless of placement. Just an annoyance and uncomfortable l

Gratitudes:

having a nice hot cup of coffee this morning that warmed me up

Never giving up

chainmaille and jump rings

QOTD: hmmm...I'm not sure on this one. I would say finding your roots on PBS. I know it's not so much "reality" tv but it's the only show I want to be on.

B: oatmeal with berries and coffee x2

L: bowl of soup

D: lemon pepper Tilapia , mushrooms w/onions

S: A mini frittata made with JUST egg, cheese stick and mini rice cakes

I s are have gone to the animals!

Opps here is a tighter cropped photo of ms opal.

Hope your pain settles. That doesn't sound fun with the binder and I bet it's hard to find clothes with your height that fit the way you want them to!
