Twice in one week, how about that!! Back to the updating. Around a year ago I decided that I needed to make some major changes in my life. Clothes shopping wasn't enjoyable anymore, even though you can find amazing clothes for bigger girls, it still sucks having to buy them!! You get really depressed as you see the sizes go up instead of down!! When you've been the skinny girl, it really gets to you to be the fat girl! I think the tipping point was seeing pictures of myself (I rarely let anyone take pics) and not being able to recognize the person in them, with the face that I saw in the mirror.
So a year ago I decided to cut down on beer, there was a bit of a learning curve, because this girl loves her beer!! In cutting down on the beer, I managed to cut down my overall alcohol consumption (totally not on purpose).
I also started going out dancing whenever I got the chance, it's funny how dancing until 5am will shed those unwanted pounds!! As of today, I'm down about 50lbs, with another 40 to go. I don't want to be as skinny as I used to be, but I want to be able to walk into the stores I want, and buy the clothes I want!! I still have some more work to do, but I will get there!!!!
Cheers,
Not so fat girl

Why hello there stranger...who me?
Where to begin? I never know where. So let's just start with the most recent developments. I'm officially retired, woohooooo!! Freedom 40 became 39 instead. Thanks to the BF I no longer have to hate my job!! And no I'm not a kept woman or a gold digger, just extremely fortunate. Haven't quite decided on what I will spend my time doing yet, but i think I have some time to figure shit out.
In other news, this girl is now winning the battle of my bulge!! No diets, gimmicks, eating disorders or surgery involved. Don't worry, I haven't become an exercise fanatic or given up alcohol, that would be against my better judgement and no fun at all!! The beer has been replaced by vodka sodas, and the only exercise this girl does (other than the tipping of my elbow) is dancing. Food has never been my kryptonite, it's always been beer! It's just so yummy and refreshing! Don't try and fool yourself by drinking the light stuff either, when you drink enough of it (too much to admit without people thinking I needed an intervention) it's not really that "light" anymore!!
Pretty brief update considering how long it's been, but there will be more to come, since I don't have to do that whole working thing anymore!!
