Talking I feel good....WOW

Ok well I started a new job today. I am loving my "new" clothes. As most of you know I worked at Lane Bryant for a period of time. I have a lot of stuff in the 18's and 20's (pre-op I was a 28). I haven’t been able to ware them in over a year so it is like they are new again. Anyways I was putting stuff on trying to put together professional looking outfits, and to my amazement I liked what I saw. I felt like I was dressing a different body. I didn’t feel like I was looking at me, if that makes any sense. I am happy and I just thought I would share it with all my stapler buddies.....

What Sawyer would call me on LOST: ladybug

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."

The days and the weeks get better as the pounds come off and the inches start to drop. Girlfriend you use to work at Lane Byrant? I am so sure we have met before then. I have given Lane Byrant so much of my money I was just going to get a job there and sign over my paycheck every other week.
