So its been a while since I was here. Bad me I know. Things are good. Diet's not so good but I'm making sure I make healthy choices. I've been working more on my spiritual than my physical lately. I know that both go hand in hand and I need to be balanced to achieve my goal. Last time I weighed in was roughly a week ago at 231.4 lbs. I've been sticking to the 230 range lately.

But the nice thing was I went to buy an Easter outfit to wear and I pulled out the size 22 pants thinking "ok the last pair of jeans I bought were 22 stretch jeans.....". Guess what! They didn't fit I had to get a size 20, which i suppose is what I truly wear unless its Lane Bryant stretch jeans. lol Needless to say I was a little happy about that. Also I'd gone into David's Bridal a while back to try on the bridesmaids dress for my friends wedding. I knew what size I'd need to get over my hips and it was the same thing - the 22 was a little bigger than it needed to be and the 20 fit better. I also found out from the sales lady if you are planning to lose weight its 20 lbs to a dress size. I'd never heard this before and went "does that apply to my very child bearing hips that I have been blessed with???"

Those and my thighs are my big problem. I'm actually about 3 different sizes like many women and I believe as I'm typing this I've talked about it before. But we'll continue. :) My top half is barely in the plus sizes but I have to buy bigger clothing - like that made for plus sizes to make sure it will fit around my hips. It frustrating when I find something that I like in a size that I should be able to wear but my hips/butt prevent that from happening. Its always been this way and it sucks.

Well I hope all is well with everyone of you. I wish you a great Easter weekend and hope that if you have kids you have either enjoyed or will be enjoying your Spring Break together. ~Hugs~Jen
