What do you want to gain by losing weight?!

Note from September 2013



What do you want to gain ?

Self respect
Self Confidence
Happiness
Sassiness
New / or ability to wear old wardrobe (8 -10 pants)

An additional effort I am taking is the idea of a "DREAM BOARD" or a Vision Board. I am doing this via Pinterest and created a My Style board to help with my re styling!  This allows me to pin all the outfits, styles and trends I like, and then create them from my own closet! When cleaning out my closet or trying to organize it,  I realized I have plenty of things, I am just tired of the way I coordinate the items I have.  I mean if I like the way it looks on the site, then I should like the general look on whatever size my current body weight.

I will at least feel pulled together.

Pinterest allowed me to then print out my style board and I created a 3 ring binder "book". I flip through and put my outfits together for the day. This has been a great beginning of putting out a better image of myself, stylish, pulled together, and even trendy for a middle aged chica!

This process also created an automatic "Shopping List" of items I would like to blend into my wardrobe instead of constantly picking up another pair of black pants, white or black t shirt.

I really moved outside my comfort zone and picked up 2 pairs of colored jeans. Red and bright blue. I was getting really tired of Grey, Black or Kahki pants as the base.

I get compliments regularly, and feel this one step of taking time to dress well at the current size I am, instead of focusing on how much better life will be when I hit goal weight, is a huge part of the process of this self journey.
