My girlie gene is weak!

Not many purses fit my arms, but as I lose they will start too. I still love purses, I will either have them be a litte tight or get a shoulder strap purse or put them on my wrist etc. But I am a purse junkie, I have quite a few purses that cost over 100 dollars. Yes I know horrible, but that's from when our house caught on fire and my mom and I spoiled ourselves for having to stay in a house covered with black smoke, and not living with heat from august until february and having to wear coats and blankets all over us inside :tongue2:

I'd classify myself as a TomBoy Princess. I grew up in a "country" and I mean small town country town. Our neighborhood had about 10 boys, me and one other girl. We both had to be tomboys for self preservation. I loved to climb trees, swim, shoot (bb guns & bows & arrows) and could ride my bike with the rest of them. However, I did it often in a dress.

My father loved me in dresses and to be honest I like to hear how "pretty" I looked. I was a vain little girl, what can I say? So I'd put on a dress, go play in the field and come back home filthy. He would get SO mad! LOL...it was his fault though.

Today - I wear dresses and suits because I have to for work. At my heaviest I wore only pant suits, but now that my legs are getting better (at least from the knee down) I'm wearing more skirts.

When I get home, actually in the car on the way home, the shoes are the first to go. I hate wearing shoes! I'm a barefoot gal! If I'm not going anywhere it's PJ bottoms and tank tops...ah, comfort.

I do wear some makeup, but not much. I indulge in the occassional pedicure too - I have to something for me every now and then. That massage chair and having someone rub my feet feels like heaven! I've become a purse addict too. I love TJMAX (The evil little store it is)

So I guess I'm still a tomboy princess...just grown up.

hey gg207 - it's so sad. My trunk fills in for my closet at home. Just this morning I was rummaging through to find a pair of shoes that matched my skirt and top today - lol. I go through about once a month and take them in. I don't know why I bother - they'll end up there within days...

lol - your driving test! hehehehe...that's funny.

I don't wear heels (I'm 6 ft tall, I'm already towering over everyone, do I really need to be more intimidating)

I don't carry a purse (I carry a wallet, no not like a wallet on a chain (not that there's anything wrong with that))

I don't like sappy love movies, you know traditional girlie flicks, the only kind of movies I like with women who kick a&&.

I don't paint my nails, I do usually do my toes.

I didn't have a mani or pedi until January of this year. I would do the pedi again, but saw the mani as a waste of money.

I don't wear dresses. I only own a few for funerals and weddings.

I like to fish, I don't mind baiting my own hook or cleaning the fish when I'm done.

I do get my haircut pretty religiously, I do splurge on that.

I don't wear pantyhose. If it requires pantyhose, it just wasn't meant to be...I'm pretty sure that they could use pantyhose to get terrorists to spill their secrets...It might be the new waterboarding

I've never had the thought "Oh cool, a tiara"

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
