I was doing so well for a while. I had my routine and lived it, was going with the flow. I recently stopped smoking 18 days ago….. gained 9 or 10 pounds in that short period of time. When I got on the scale today I was so upset. I feel terrified I will end up back where I was when I first started this journey. I have been smoking since I was 15 yrs old. I’m 33 now. It is so hard to get over these withdrawals mentally and physically. So I’m back for support and to regain the strength I had before I quit smoking. There are so many wonderful people on this site. Such inspirational stories to get me motivated and pumped. May the battle begin!!

ok im a woman of my word…. im not too thrilled about it. Angela and i had a deal by end of april to post full body pic up show our 1/2 way progress, i dont know what i was thinking or how she got me to say ok lol. but its up angela so enjoy you brat hehehe.

so i was at the mall today picking out a few things preping for my trip this wenesday to orlando FL im attending my brother in laws wedding. i start where i normally start lane bryant….. nothing fits!! i ask clerk for help finding a different size while im in dressing room. she tells me im sorry we start at size 14/16 we do not have smaller sizes. WHAT!!! can this be ive shopped here for years. yes the day has come…. OMG you have no idea how good it felt to say ok thanks and shake my smaller butt out that store lol. i walked out the store and looked at my teenage son where do i go now i havent shopped at these others stores i dont know where to start.  needless to say i had a field day and probably spent way too much but i was just on a “high”. i get home have a fashion show for hubby look babe look no plus sizes heheheh what a great day finally all this torture is starting to show and pay off!!  had to share my experience with my buddies if i could id shout it from the roof tops LOL

My dear friend angela and i were making a deal to push the pace this month and at end of april we will post full body bathing suit pics up. i figured not too many people would see it until the brat made a blog and put me on blast lol. guess theres no turning back now…. wish me luck guys i cant believe im doing this lol. going to gym now to tone tone tone ill post pics end of april yikesssss.

ok, to some of my closer buddies you know that im going through a tough period with my moms health issues. and a few other personal issues as well…. ive been so  wrapped up in this that i lost focus, stressed out, side tracked etc etc.

i refuse to go back to where i was before i started this journey!!! i slipped lately i looked at scale gained 8 pounds in the last 4 or 5 weeks thats a whole dress size

i just need my support and my buddies right now. im struggeling with all the issues going on in my life with this weight loss gain i feel overwhelmed like its too much to take on at one time.  i wanted to say thank you for those that have been there with me and supported me. time to buckle down cause this weight gain is not welcome lol.

i busted my butt to lose the weight i have and i wont let this win… i WILL be hot stuff this summer lol

wow!! exciting day today…..

was getting ready for a special night out with hubby and was searching for something cute to wear. its hard to find what i want to wear cause its usually the smaller clothes lol. a month ago i tried on a jean skirt and it was so short on me cause i was still to heavy. i wondered maybe it will fit now…. i tried it on and wow not only did it fit but i could pull out the waist and it was too big!!! hahah i didnt wear it cause it wouldve sagged down alot but that just made my night!! i was on a natural high all night

i have had a pair of cute skinny jeans in the top shelf in my closet sitting there collecting dust for 4 years now…. i almost gave them away to charity assuming ill never get in these jeans again!!!

Out of curiousity i tried them on few months back and sad to say i couldnt get them pulled up past my thigh…. today i could get em up and zipped up but too tight but i was excited to see they zip they zip!!!

wish me luck 8 more pounds and those bad boys will fit just right!!
