I love the curls! And the outfit looks super cozy, perfect for fall ❤️

Oh, thank you guys! I had to force myself to tuck my shirt in today. I really wanted to cover up my tummy. It’s shrunk, but it’s still very there. I’m trying really hard to not feed those insecurities. Y’all have been VERY helpful in here. Thank you ❤️

I went to brunch with a friend, and commented that I LOVE her blazer. It’s suede, and was handed over to her by my cousin. She said “I bet it would fit you”. I never expected to be her size, and my brain was very LOLNO it won’t fit. But, uh, it was perfect. So she gave it to me ?. The pants were handed down to me from my cousin, and the shoes are my OG docs, pulled out of the closet and shined up.

Thank you, I needed to hear that ❤️ I’m stalled out, but that’s just the scale. And really, I’m fine with it, but it’s an abrupt change from the rapid weight loss of the past 5.5 months.

I have a community art event today. It’ll be fun, but I’d honestly rather be in bed ?

I found this black leather blazer at the thrift store. The dress is Madewell, and it’s WONDERFUL. I got it 2nd hand. and, uh, I spent several hundred dollars on my fall wardrobe. But I got stuff that is snug now, or can be cinched with a belt. Pants I’ll have to replace.

This one is my favorite!

Whoa! That looks GREAT! I especially love the boots.

Thanks! It’s super cozy, too.

I LOVE IT!!

Today’s outfit. I’m still waiting on the bulk of my capsule wardrobe to arrive, but I’m happy with the colors so far. Today is super neutral. Well, except for the hair ?

I love that skirt with the black! Super cute.

? yeah, I foster kittens in my bedroom. Right now there are 6 kittens and their mama living here. If I had to make it tidy before every picture I’d never get to work! Here is today. I am trying the whole capsule wardrobe thing, so I’ve got a bunch of stuff from Poshmark coming. Mostly I got stuff that can be tailored or are dresses that can be worn with a belt when they get too big. Also featured in this picture is Inkless the color point baby. And today’s green eyeshadow.

Those are awesome. I’d totally wear them. But I have no idea if they are in style!

I have been swamped at work, but looking forward to catching up in here. In the meantime, here is today :

Okay, I’m stepping out of my comfort zone and wearing a snug through the abdomen dress. And I know the tights and socks are a bit goofy, but I don’t want to look TOO grown up, after all!

That’s really interesting. I never had metabolic syndrome, even when I was 300lbs. My blood sugar levels were always fine. I did have cravings for sweets, etc. And I overate in general. Now I can eat in moderation. I can have a bit of carbs without it turning into a need for more. Yesterday I had a few bites of pasta. It was no big deal, and I’ve not felt the desire or need to have anything carby today. That’s been my experience post-surgery, My dietician is fine with it, she is interested in patterns and trends. In fact, some of the work I’ve done with her and with the bariatric psych was to accept moderation, and not panic every time I eat part of a cookie. I think it’s really neat how different everyone is.

Cute! I LOVE those shoes.

This is where the coffee comes into play!

Cute, sheribear! I love the pattern.

I love that dress SO MUCH!!!!

So dapper!

Damn, those boots are great!

I like the duster a lot. It’s something I’d trip over, though. Today is orange a black day. I knew the t-shirt was too big, but I didn’t realize how too big it it!

I actually wore heels today!
