Confession: I'm not what I used to be

As I posed this on my family blog this morning I realize I am just not what I used to be anymore and I have to be happy with that. I used to be a size 2, OK lets get real that's probably never going to happen again. That is, unless I get sick and cant eat for a month, which isn't too realistic. So I need to make do with what I have and be happy. That doesn't mean that I am not going to try to start eating better and living a healthy lifestyle (for those that don't know me~I don't eat veggies or fruits- I am a cheese and fried chicken kind of girl).

But I am going to give up on fitting back into my old clothes. So today I am going to pack them all up and give them away. Of course there are some that I will keep in storage (like the stuff I wore right before I got preggers with my son), I just cant let those go yet. But anything below a size 6 in pants or small shirts are out of here. There is just no reason to keep them. If I was to ever fit in them again the will probably be out of style.

With that said, I will be needing some new clothes. As of right now I have 2 pairs of pants without elastic that fit and maybe 3 shirts that I actually feel comfortable wearing out of the house. I also only have 2 pairs of decent shoes that are not crocs so I might need to get some of those too. And lets face it those little undies from the pre preggers days are going to fit this mama anytime soon. But at the same time I can toss the "granny panties" from my pregnancy. So I am off to Kohls today besides there biggest sale of the season, year, or lifetime that they are having today, they have suckered me in with a 15% off coupon on my entire purchase. So I will be heading there today for a little retail therapy. Just because I work from home and don't go out a whole lot~doesn't mean that I have to look frumpy all the time. So I am off to get some new clothes "Mama's Bringing Sexy Back" , OK I wont go that far but I am off to get some clothes that make me feel good about myself. Who knows maybe next week I will get my hair cut and colored (which I haven't had done since LAST NOVEMBER).

Me Now
Me Then. I started to bust out the high school photos but that's not fair.

The beauty you have in your pic with Austin is a trillion times the one below. It is different but it radiates...mom!
