Operation Fabulous!

Whoa.  I am telling you going to work day after day and having to dress up is a pain in the neck.  It’s even more of a pain when you have to keep that top button undone so that you dont feel like you are going to burst when you sit down!  It’s the same feeling as if you were to bend down and then you hear that riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiipppppppp; you immediately stand up and see if anyone is around to witness that you just split your pants in half and that your days of the week underwear are Friday’s on Tuesday! Yea, that never happened to me before, but YES I do have days of the week underwear! Just Kidding!

Anyway, working hard on loosing weight is finally paying off!  Its all about the clothes for me (yes and the self-esteem too, but you cant have self-esteem if you look like you are wearing 12 year old’s pants!) - I actually could button that top button on my pants again.  I don’t know about you, but that is HUGE for me.  They are actually pretty loose around my butt as well.  That could be just because I stretched the heck out of them, but I’d like to think its cause of loosing lbs.

That boosted my confidence level from a 5 to a 8!  I am actually going to attempt to go out with my friends on Saturday.  I really haven’t been doing that because of the whole tight-clothes and not feeling comfortable with myself thing.  I am going to go out with a positive attitude and try not to tug on my clothes too much to check the “fat areas” that hang over my pants.  I keep telling myself that the whole confidence thing is all mental.  The first thing I have to do is think positive and then mentally I will feel better about myself.  Regaining cofidence starts with your mind, then your heart, and then the rest shall follow (like the way you walk in a room and the way you talk with your head up).  I am at the mind part, now I just have to believe in myself more.

I know I have gotton off path for a moment, but I want to hear about any embarrassing stories about your clothes not fitting…. Don’t be afraid to share because we are all loosing weight together…

My ONE embarrassing story was that I was at work one day (to those who read this that I work with now…this didn’t happen anytime soon ) - I was wearing a skirt and it was so tight around my waist, I had to wear the ankle length skirt under my breasts so that it would fit and it was now a skirt that was knee length .   I was wearing a button up Top that I think was my dad’s cause I mine were getting pretty tight….. I was at an outside work picnic on a windy day and my shirt sorta blew up and everyone saw how high my waist was on the skirt.  It was embarressing because I was known by Urkle (the nerdy boy that wore his pants close to his neck and red suspenders) for about a month!  I took it like a champ though and smiled and laughed, but I was mortified!  

So I just publicly told my embarrassing story and people where I work with now will probably read this and call me urkle, but I don’t care… I got it out in the open!  So tell me yours!
