Who I Am

Hello everyone!

I am a 26 year old single woman.  I still live with my parents.  Even though sometimes I despise both of those facts, ultimately those are both choices I have made.  I could have gotten married at 23, believe it out not someone actually proposed to me.  However, I knew I would be settling and that wasn't good enough for me.  There was actually another guy that wanted to marry me as well, again, I knew that would be settling.  And yes, I could move out of my parents house and rent an apartment or buy a house.  But, A. I would not like to live alone.  B.  I'd be over at my parents house all the time anyway.  C. If I'm not paying rent, I can buy shoes.
Apparently these facts make me an "outsider" or "weird' or "not right".  I don't really care.

Also, while I am add it, here's some other facts about me.

I like to buy shoes.  I like to buy lots of shoes.  When I'm feeling bad, I will buy shoes.  I will not buy shoes at Pay-Less.  I will not buy shoes at Target.  Don't shame me for buying shoes.
 I love music.  Mostly I love country music.
 I love musicals.  I love to listen to the soundtracks and pretending I'm in the play.
 I love to sing, but cannot carry a tune in a bucket.
I have read every Twilight book and I am excited about seeing the new movie Friday.  So, what if I'm a dork.
Hippos are my favorite animal, I don't care if they are not cute and cuddly.  Neither am I.  I will trample you like a hippo.
No, I'm not pissed off or sick all the time.  Most of time I'm not talking because I think you are stupid and I'm afraid if I open my mouth, I'll tell you that.
I have an XBOX 360, that I absolutely never play games on, I watch movies.  Yes I know that's one expensive DVD player.
I like to paint nails, but I also love to pick nail polish off.  It's a vicious cycle. 
I don't like to talk on the phone (refer to #7), just text me.
I will devour french fries, probably before you can say "hey can I have one of those"
I love my job, even though most days it wears me out.
I would rather Junie B. Jones or Fancy Nancy books than any adult book.
People Style Watch is my staple
I don't like Meatloaf (the food). I like Meat Loaf (the singer).
I am compassionate and give people to the benefit of the doubt too much.  I try to find the teeny ounce of good in people.  It's a blessing and a curse.

This is me.  Take me as I am or leave me.  I have spent 26 years turning into the person I am.  I kind of like me, most days.  But I don't really care if you do or not.

Jeans

No matter how stores try to candy coat it, there is a certain stigma around the plus size section of stores.  They can call it curvy or misses or whatever, but we all know what it is.  There is an imaginary line in the middle of the store where no one wants to cross.  At least that's how I feel about it.  I'm sure the girls on the "regular" side could careless, or the workers for that matter, but I always feel self conscious when shopping on the side of the store.  Sure, you get used to it and laugh when you're with your skinny friends and say "I'll be over on the big girl side" and saunter on your way to the plus size section.  While you began to search through the racks on your side, you secretly long to be on the other side of the store, where there is double, sometimes triple the selection of clothes.  You find something, take it back to the dressing room to try it on.  It doesn't look right, it's too tight, it's not what you thought ...

Transformation Tuesday

Good Tuesday Morning to you all! I am up bright and early to go to a workshop today.  It was hard to get up, which is funny because I get up early every other day. Anyways, this blog isn't about my workshop, it's about Transformation Tuesday.... I literally just read a quote on facebook while I was looking for a picture to use, that sums up transformation:  Transformation is not easy. It starts on the inside before you see it on the outside. There are struggles. It comes with pain. It comes with a lot of hard work and effort. Without going through the tough stuff you aren't able to enjoy true transformation. Don't be discouraged but the rough days. Greater things are on the other side! ♥   That's the honest truth.  Transformation isn't easy, but it is the most enjoyable thing I have experienced.  And the thing about transforming your body, you also transform your mind.  Everything changes.   This is me.  This is me before...

What I Want You To Understand

I posted the following picture on Facebook and Instagram last night. I posted the following caption with it:  I wish I could explain how it feels to look at these pictures. I'm sure I should feel proud, but I feel disgusted. I remember being that girl. I remember how I felt.... Miserable. Look at that stomach. That isn't normal. That's not how a woman is supposed to look. I am disappointed in myself that I did that to myself. I am also disgusted that I've come so far and I've been slacking. I hate it. And I hate what I've done. Turning around again. ‪#‎ progress‬ ‪#‎ motivation‬ ‪#‎ fightingtheinnerfatgirl‬ My Instagram friends took this post for what it was worth, leaving comments such as "We all fall down and get back up" and "I understand how you feel,I've been slacking too".  My Facebook friends, however, just kept telling me how I was beautiful before and now and that beauty is not defined by a size and not to be to ...
