So life is looking up again!
I know that whenever I post everyone probably rolls their eyes and thinks, "Oh no...not HER again!!" But this time I have some really good news!! I went to Wal-Mart to get a couple pairs of jeans since the ones I have are all SOOOO big that my sister pulls them off me every chance she gets... So, I thought that I'd get 22's since the 24's I have are a little loose, but still tight enough to not have to worry about being de-pantsed. (LOL) ANYWAY...I got them home and thought they would be a little small, but they were too big!! Can you believe it??? So, I went and exchanged them and got some 20's and HOT DIGGITY DOG they fit!! I am SOOOOOOO stoked!!! Oh and I was going through some clothes an old b/f left at my place and I tried on his old Zildjian t-shirt and it fit too. Can anyone guess what size it is?? Give up?? It's an XL!!! I was dancing around yesterday and shaking my not so big booty I was so happy!! And I figure why break the streak of serial dating...I have a date Saturday night.
Anyway, gotta run!!

I'm so Happy!
Brenda,
You are doing great! Keep reminding yourself that you deserve only the best. Keep dating, take good care of yourself physically and emotionally and don't settle for anything less than the best for you. You will find that right person. I am so glad that you have turned the corner.
As Mary J. Blige sings "No More Drama" that is my motto in life. I don't allow anyone or anything in my life that disturbs my sense of peace and happiness.
I love you, keep on the positive path.

Yippee!
I know how ecstatic you must be fitting into a size that you only "thought" about fitting into one day! It's an incredible journey and one that we're happy to be on with you Brenda. 
Keep up the good work and remember how great this feels!

I have discovered a few things...
OK, more good news...
1) I have discovered the miracle of a push up bra! For the first time in a long time...I HAVE CLEAVAGE!!! Can you believe it?!?! LOL
2) I fit into a size 18!!! (Doing the happy dance!!) Went to Wal-Mart to just see if I could fit into an 18, and I did. It was great!!
3) I also bought an XL shirt, and IT fits too. Not someone else's shirt that they already wore and stretched out...a new one!!
And LAST, but NOT least...I have discovered...
4) The more weight I lose, the more smile I gain!
Life is great!!

Way to go Brenda!!!! Woo Hoo!!!! Some of the guys at work are starting to call me "skinny", which I definitely have a LONGGGGGGGG way to go to be, but they told me that my face is a lot skinnier. So I asked my best friend the other nite and he agreed that my face is a lot skinnier. I am also fitting into clothes that I haven't worn in 2 years!!! Yeehaw!!
