I’m glad to take part in the “big girls can wear stripes too” movement, but I never thought I couldn’t in the first place. Yeah, yeah, yeah…horizontal stripes make you look wider, but I’ve said it a million times- PEOPLE ALREADY KNOW YOUR SIZE. It doesn’t mean you can’t dress to flatter your size, but don’t dress to HIDE your size! Celebrate yourself at every stage of life. I celebrated myself when I was 300+ pounds. I celebrated myself when I lost 45 pounds. Now, I celebrate myself even though I’ve gained 20 pounds back! On to the point: I am wearing stripes, a short skirt that’s high-waisted, and a…

I just took a selfie in the mirror at the Adidas store while I was waiting for my date to try on shoes.…

Over the weekend, I was working through my closet. With my weight loss, I’m having a hard time fitting into my clothes that I wear on a weekly basis! I think I am down to 1 pair of jeans, 1 pair of dress pants and even many of my leggings don’t fit anymore! What I DIDN’T think of was all those things in my closet I bought thinking it would fit, but didn’t. Or the things I KNEW wouldn’t fit, but I bought with the hope that they someday would.
