Clothes ETC

I am finally going out this week to get a few new items..YAY!

I been managing what I have had.. but I went down 2 sizes and the bras and panties are not fiting well..and since christmas..my sister was so kind to point out that I need a lift.. in front of my family!.. I thought I was lop sided..but she swears the girls are getting lower... no..its lack of support and bad bra.. SO.. yeah.. how nice of her..

SO.. I like thrift stores..( no not getting undies there!)... I am going out to get some tops or so for now... why pay full price if not keeping it long...

and I am thinking wal mart or target for undies..unless JC pennys has their nice big sale going on right now..lol.. I can get a bra there cheaper than walmart on the sale days.. SO.. been forever since I shopped for me.. maybe I will take a pic of the before and after clothes and undies..haha.. no stains I promise!( bacon strips are left to hubby and kids) LOL

OK..and my wedding bands.. spinning on my finger.. i like the feeling..but dreading at same time.. so I went shopping on ebay for a temp set.. well.. just looking.. and I went to Kays.. new rings for a new me.. but I like simple so hubby should be happy..Im CHEAP.. HAHA..

OK nuff.. of this.. time to get my butt to bed..its late here... ta ta all..

HUGGS

Hi Holli! Nice to have you here posting!

Thank you.. Im buying smaller size rings, I thought that one through..lol.. and if I get some at Kays, I am getting them on layaway.. and they will size them to me..cool isnt it.. and for now.. cheapies on ebay.. eh.. size smaller for now.. it will fit for a few months at least.. and then my sister can have them HAHA.. serves her right! lol

HA!!!!! You are experiencing the "nothing fits sndrome"..lol Which is really an awesome thing. But your sister... shame on her ... should have kept that observation to herself, at least until it was just the two of you...Sounds like you took it pretty well?

Absolutely buy the clothes used (except the dainties). You will never get enough use out of new ones. And you can find them used that look new.

The rings... well 3 choices there (aside from new ones, which Holli is so right about). You can put them away... put them on a pretty chain and wear them as a necklace, or get those rubber tube things to snug em up. (but I do not like these.. it always feels like you ring is spun around even when it isn't and if they work thier way off..you could lose your rings.)

I have to say here, it sounds like you are feeling way more upbeat then you were for a little while there.. thats nice to see!
Congrats on your progress. This is just the beginning! WOOO HOOO

oh yeah.. forutuantely.. my hips are still holding my things up.. I was blessed with a nice wide frame in that area.. .. and my sister.. yeah.. she couldve waited.. she wanted attention I think..and I went with it.. I adjusted in front of her and said " better now" HAHA.. but still my dad was in ear shot and my kids was there.. so.. I am giving her my left overs if she can fit them.. she put on the pounds her self.. so.. karma is biting her in the butt right now!

I am going to buy smaller sized rings- smart here..lol.. and when I get a offical set.. probably from kays or some other nice store.. they will be on layaway and sized to my size.. so I can go window shopping now.. pick out a good set.. lay it away..a nd in 7 months.. I can get it out and sized as needed.. but for now.. ebay.. yup got the "for now" on watch .. lol.. I am going to try the guards though.. I know I may not like them but giving it a shot.... push come to shove.. will see about these being kept away unless hubby wants to resize these ones and I wont have to buy new set.. but.. seriously.. I would like for us to have a new start over set.. its not needed really.. but a want... and I do love the rings he gave me.. but.. Im a  new wife now..haha.. so to speak..

I am feeling better, the holidays get to me.. and now that Christmas is over.. PHEW,.,. lets go in to the new year with some positive happiness!

Soooo glad you are feeling better and taking positivity and joy into the new year with you.
Hey... if your hubby doesn't mind splurging on you a bit.. why not get another set..or two..haha.. eventually you can have any of them resized anyhow right? Then you will be all full of bling bling..lol.

Yeah I was wondering if your sister is overweight, and maybe jealous of your lws and progress and the positive attention you are probably getting as a result of it.

Happy New Year to you and yours!

HA.. yeah have a set for at home and a set for going out.. I was pondering that.. :) and yes they can be resized.. not the cheapies..it would be hard I think.. since not real.. .. but the ones I have are real..and if I can find some older rings with diamonds..that can go to payments... they can take the diamonds and credit my account.. yup.. thought that over too..lol

yes my sister is 5'5 and about 240 lbs.. she wont admitt to anything..but its becoming noticable she is envious.. but.. I am not sitting back and doing nothing and trying to be healthy.. she is happy for me for that.. but I think sometimes she wishes she could do it too..although she says she is happy way she is..

Hubby..again.. this morning.. I caught him admirring me.. as we was getting up and just sitting there watching me with a genuine grin on his face... and I havent even lost 50 lbs yet! lol.. but Good to see it.. been gone for awhile..

Happy New Year!

Awwwwww bet those admiring looks felt sooooooo good. Don't be too suprised you are getting them already. if you picture one pound as 4 sticks of butter...you have lost a lot of sticks of butter off you but er...and other areas too..lol

Glad your sister is happy for you, but I hope her envy doesn't turn bitter later when you are slim and trim and looking hot!

You are going to have a blast!  There is no feeling in the world like the one you get when the clothes you pick out and try on are too big instead of too small.  My favorite was being able to buy sexy bras and undies that actually fit. My cup size didn't change much but now I can buy bras in the "normal" section instead of the plus size.  A good bra goes a long way.  I think I bought about 10 and was having so much fun I didn't realize that I didn't buy one single plain white bra so I can only wear certain tops. That is something I am going to correct today.

Have fun shopping!
