You know occasionally, I think it's fine to have an inspirational piece, but...really...it seems impractical
...but I found this coat...and IT's AMAZING! Incredibly cute, one of a kind, will never find again...and 2 sizes smaller than I...
So naturally...I bought it...because it was on sale. it was like $25 at Downeast...down from the original price of $200. (they had an amazing sale...I also got a wool scarf for $.50 & a t-shirt for $2.50...amazing...those I can wear...)
So I'd like to think I got a great deal...but I still bought something I can't wear...
Does this mean that I ripped myself off?
...At the beginning of this semester I threw out all the clothes I had kept weight loss motive, all of them(minus the dress my mom wore in her engagement pictures, I still hope that I can fit that for mine). I have been trying as hard as I know how for the past year to loose weight...and I have toned...that's nice...but I hadn't really lost that much weight, in fact I hadn't lost any since early in the process...and I figured I never will, so...
I threw out all the things I had collected.
Whether it is stress from school, or the fact that I don't have a desk job anymore, or what I don't know, but since that time I have lost about 10 pounds - which is a big deal...cause I have been stuck on a plateau for over 8 months...which is very frustrating (I even went vegan for 2 months, and that...almost worked). This encourages me that someday I might just fit this coat...but I have always...always been over the weight I am now, and hope is...slim(pun. ha ha.)
It has taken me a whole year to lose 30lbs and I sill have 55 more to go. Don't feel bad, I think all of us have a stash of skiny clothes-mine live under the stairs and I refuse to look at them. I joined a weight loss website, myfitnesspal.com its free and they have calorie counters and support groups. It has really helped on the days I get discouraged. I highly encourage you to look into it.
ReplyDeleteAnd give yourself a break- it was on sale after all. :0)
It's tough...It is so much easier & faster to gain weight than it is to loose it! ha ha. But I saw that you got a new elliptical! joyful!
ReplyDeleteBTW. that is a great website! I love it! I went & joined :D
I tried the coat on again today...I definitely think that I can fit it nicely by the time it gets too warm to wear it. ha ha. but at least I will look awesome next winter. :D
I love it so much! this is definitely a purchase I don't regret.
