Oooh, I like the deterrant idea!

I've been buying stuff that's been fitting just right. I love my clothes fitted, even though I am still technically 'big'. I had a dress that I wore years ago as my motivation (an Australian size 16) but my mother who was keeping it for me got rid of it, so my inspiration dress is gone.

I kind of freaked out this morning because I put on a pair of pants that I haven't worn in years and of course they fit but I was all nervous that I'd bend over and they'd rip or something. But hooray! They fit really well, not tight or anything. I wish the gut would shrink a little faster this way I could actually wear a shirt that didn't cover my gut but that'll take some time.

Ya, I buy smaller work clothes..like I bought size 18 work pants..when I'm really size 22. I can't zip them up but I only work 2 days a week and I figure I'll grow into them.

I'm losing weight because I don't want to die young, I'm doing it for me and for my son.
On a happy note, I live in such a remote area those pants I ordered probably wont get here till october, so maybe...MAYBE by then I'll be able to fit in them, but that is a stretch considering right now my 18's are tight when they come out of the dryer and only losen up a little bit with wear.

Well, when it comes to me - I refuse to buy "fat" outfits. I have two Adidas track suits and one outfit for special occasions in my misarable size 16 and that is it! I refuse to accomodate my fat ass (let's face it) a size of glorious state of Texas by buying and spending money on more ugly, ill fiting fat outfits. I have full closet of outfits I had bought when I was 135lb. I have to confess - I love shopping, I love beaitiful clothes and I do have (thanks God) very generous hubby,so I am really looking forward to wearing my favorite things again. For my 32 Birthday, my hubby bought me an absolutely beautiful Chanel coat in a scary size 38. Belive me, nothing will inspire you to loose weight like Chanel.

Life is full of miracles . You have to believe it because it is true! I never considered myself a beautiful girl. After much painfull divorce from my first husband I though that I am destined to be alone for the rest of my life. I had a little daughter to worry about and so I did what I had to do. I packed my bags and left my country. I crossed Atlantic Ocean with 20$ in my pocket, one suitcase and million hopes.I was 24. I came to this wonderful country to built my new future at the price of painful 3 year separation from my daughter. I found myself a job and for the next two years worked as a living in home aid companion for an old lady.I worked 7 days a week and was happy to make money to send it back home to support my family. Two years later old lady died and I found myself without job, without family and friends in the strange country. I turned to Churches in area and left my resume everywhere I could. Kind people, the neighbors of an old lady i used to work for, let me stay in their house. When I lost all my hope to find a new job,the phone rang. One of the women in the Church I had left my resume in, told me that she has a person who is looking for home companion for his mother. She had a stroke and needed help around the house. A week later, I was hired and brought to a new place of work. A year later I found myself in love with the man who hired me to take care of his Mom. We have been happily married for 5 years now. My daughter is living with us and on June 16th of this year we bacem citizens of the USA. I am 32 and I do belive in miracles.
