It's been awhile but there is always a silver lining...
Permalink Closed

 I have not been posting in a long time as I have been extremely overwhelmed with school and work so I have a lot to catch up on.  Also, sadly my dad passed away very unexpectedly in May at the young age of 44.  He had a massive heart attack and died at home in my mothers arms the morning of May 4, 2006.  Things have been very hard but we are coping and growing stronger everyday.  I took this as a wake up call and realized that it was beyond time to start making changes in my life.  I joined a gym in August and am starting to see results.  I have been able to drop a whole size and I am working really hard at seeing this through.  I was a size 22 and am now at a 20 and going down (hopefully).  Now, on to the fun part...last week was the first time I had ever stepped foot into an Anthropologie store and I thought it was amazing.  After all this time of hearing ya'll go on and on about all the great things they had I was finally able to see it for myself..lol!  I loved looking around and I found two very cute tops on sale, I decided to try them on and was so excited to realize that they fit...what a confidence boost!!  It was just what I needed to get me through the blahs that I've been going through.  Now, it makes my goal of a smaller size even more exciting as I get to shop in that store with such beautiful clothes. 


Sorry that it was so long ladies...I just had a lot to say!

I'm sorry for the rough time you must have been having lately but I am glad you are doing better and are back around here.  It is definetly a great feeling to try on clothes thinking they will not be flattering or too small and then you find out they are too big or they fit just right.

Loosing a loved one is so-very rough, I'm sorry for your loss.  You should be very proud of yourself for finding a healthy outlet, one that is sure to have a positive influence in your life.  Whenever you need a pick-me-up post here or you can PM me.  I lost my Dad when I was younger and wouldn't mind chatting if you need to.


P.S.  I adore Anthro

Thanks everyone for all the kind words and thoughts...I really appreciate it.  It has been a little rough but what can I do but move on.  Sometimes it feels like a new struggle appears everyday and I just try to find a healthier way of working through it...lol. 


I do have to admit that I have really missed checking on ya'll...I am not very fashionable but I love to see all of ya'lls ideas.  Thanks!
