That Red Blouse…
Has been hanging in my closet for 2 years now, taunting me. I was close to wearing it then, but my life dumped upside down on me and the weight I regained made it impossible.
I tried it on last night and it’s snug, but I got it on. It is a more fitted blouse, which I am uncomfortable with. I dont like clothing hugging my body to show off my fat. But it wasn’t bad…not great…but not bad. It still is too snug across my tummy. Im begining to wonder if that area will ever go away, after 4 c-sections…I just dont know. “That area” is preventing me from going into the next lower size of jeans.
Well, I am hanging that red blouse on my closet door and it is my goal to wear it Christmas Day. Not just to wear it but feel comfortable in it and wear it with a big smile (and pants of course)
Today I start C25K. Im nervous because I want to be able to do this and not have my knees work against me. I ‘ll fill you in afterwards and tell you how it went.
Oh, one other thing…Pumpkin pie…Im working up the courage to throw it away. I have picked at it for 2 days now and I dont want to make it 3. I know I could very easily eat it all. I have such guilt about throwing it away….ahhhhh! I know it would be better than to fill my body with it, RIGHT!
Wish me luck ![]()
HELLO! We are both pumpkin pie addicts! I ended up taking mine to work but I would have thrown it away. I am impressed it has been able to stay at your house this whole weekend. I say have a ceremony and throw it away!
Hear, hear on the pie!! I am taking the rest to wokr to get rid of it!!
Congrats on the blouse, you are moving closer!!! You will get there and I want to see pics when you do!
Good luck sweetie! Like Kama, I completely hear you on the pumpkin pie.
The red blouse, has no chance. You’ll be wearing it soon!
BIG HUG! GOOD LUCK!

Your gonna look so pretty in red girl!! Love Debbie
I did the same thing with a pair of pants I couldn’t wait to wear again! I hung them on the inside of my closet door, so every time I opened the door, there they were, asking me when I was going to be thin enough to wear them! The day I put them on and was able to wear them, my feet never touched the ground, I was so happy. Soon you will be posting a picture of you in your red shirt here!
Holy Moly, you sound just like me when it comes to throwing things away ! I hate to do it , I think it comes from when I was younger we were not allowed to waste food cuz we didn’t have a lot of money so it was not the thing to do ! I know you are gonna wear that red blouse girl ! Good Luck ! Hugs, Kimmi

don’t feel guilty just throw it away! when i learned that last year it really helped me. you don’t need to be the garbage can which is what we do when we eat just not to waste. love the red blouse story! you keep this up - you are doing so well!!
Can’t wait to see the picture of you in the blouse!! Your doing a fantastic job!

Debbie, I have SUCH a problem throwing food away, too! I feel ya there, girl!
Yay to being so close to wearing the red shirt… it will be perfect for Christmas!
