Calorie free therapy

Thanks for all the supportive comments yesterday lovers. NOT!!!  That's ok though.  I still love ya because you came back to read my drivel again today.  :)

I tried to do a last minute day trip today that didn't pan out. I also worked 4 hours on what should have been my Saturday off. I was *over* the day and still feeling blue about yesterday. I reached out to a friend through text and told her how I was feeling upset and frustrated. She asked me what was wrong and it hit me like a  frying pan to the back of the head. (frying pans... who knew right?  name that movie)  I was still feeling the leftovers from yesterday and I didn't know how to deal with them... I was struggling with them so much because I was making a effort NOT to eat my feelings away.  Holy shit! I didn't even know I was doing it. Yeah me! :)

I decided on a little calorie free retail therapy to soothe my soul.  I have been getting really frustrated with my pants selection lately. (But I REFUSE to buy more 18's when I have many pairs already that don't quite fit)  The only jeans I have that fit are that pair of RL that are heavy weight jeans material and the L4 jeans I got at the thrift. (One of the 14s were actually L4? sized men's jeans) They fit but are baggy and I am getting tired of the sag. I grabbed a pair of 18's that didn't fit 2 weeks ago and decided what the heck let me try again. Imagine my surprise when I realized if I sucked in a tad I could button them AND zip. YEAH! So I finally have some form fitting jeans. I had hubby snap a picture before we went into town. Of course while the picture looks a hella a lot better than the baggies I have been wearing I see a problem. My hamstrings have a layer of fat!! Ugh, I mean yeah I know about my rolls and gut but I knew not of that.

     


My nails actually look some what decent for once so I decided nail polish for the retail therapy. Karen posted a picture of her tootsies in a tardis blue on FB and I liked it. Hubby loves that show so I figured I would get a blue like that. We met with my brother in town for dinner and then hit ULTA. I ended up with 5 polishes from there and then another on clearance from Target later. So many shades of blue to choose from but we settled on one. Then a few others were chosen based on color coolness with us all.
5 bottom ULTA  Target for top one.

So while I have gained those pants now fit so I really can't be to bummed about that. :)  Off to hit the hay as we have water park plans again tomorrow.

 I hope you discovered something today that made you feel better about your weight loss efforts!

  4. Love your comment about eating your feelings. I've been wondering why I've been so irritable lately. A light bulb just went off for me. Thank-you for this!

    Also, retail therapy is great, especially with new toes! :)

  5. Keep your food choices clean. 100% of the time. Otherwise the slippery slope thinking will take you in all sorts of directions. Hang in there and glad you are wearing clothes that fit. Even if it's 1 pair. Stuffing yourself into small clothes - no es bueno! It's another form of slippery slope- IMO.

    Onward. Keep the food choices dialed in and the weight will come off!
