So ......... it has been a LONG while since I have actually been shopping for myself! I'm thinking that my new "Savings" attitude is beginning to work on me! I've really been working hard at cutting back on things.
{This post may jump from one topic to another several times today....but just hang with me....I have something good to talk about.}
It's really not a secret that I am {actually} a little Chubby! But hey, Happiness = Chubby or so they say. When my colored friends see me, they usually respond like this: "Girl, You is healthy." ????
This morning......I saved a couple of hours in my schedule, so that I could maybe do a little clothes shopping.....For MYSELF. I can't figure out if I've actually forgotten how to shop, or if there is another problem going on here.
I just know that when your undies feel a little tight and everything else that you wear is making it look like you have an extra ROLL or two, You've got a problem. I....... have a PROBLEM...right now!
I sure wish that my wonderful blogging friend (Betsy) @ betsyfromtennessee.blogspot.com .......lived closer to me. She.....inspires me! She has changed her life completely, just by hiking and making lifestyle changes. I am so proud of Betsy! I would hike right along beside she and her sweet husband (George) even if they wanted me to or not!!
Skinny is the name of the game these days....OR at least, this is what the media wants us to believe.. Skinny and to be semi-flat chested are two things that I could sure handle. I know this is probably TMI......but I do not like Bras!!!! Just can't handle the feeling of being BOUND.
Listen.....I was NOT a bra burner from the sixties...
back then, I was way too young to worry about those kind of things.
Great gads.....Skinny was not what I saw in the mirror today while trying on clothes. For some reason, that outfit that the mannequin was wearing.....did not look the same on me. Manni didn't have hair, and she was wearing NO shoes.....Maybe this was the difference!! What ya think?
I'm being serious now.........I want to encourage you all, to set some time aside each day to exercise!!!! Exercise and eat right! This is something that I am going to have to do for myself as well. Extra weight makes me feel miserable....and it's very unhealthy!
Fat triggers diabetes, it can wreck your hips and knees, and it is very hard on the heart. As much as I like cake and all kinds of desserts, I like myself more..... and it's time for me to start putting my health at the top of my list.
Needless to say.......No clothes were purchased today and probably none will be until a few pounds are shed...
Have fun doing what you do......but keep in mind that Health matters!!
hugs,
shug...
