Diary of a Pre-Reformed Fast Food Slut
Hey Everyone! I haven't written an update in a very long time and I figured that it was time, because I have reached a post-weight loss surgery goal tonight!
First, I want to say thank you to the 75 people who "Liked" my Facebook picture earlier this month and for those who commented. It's great to have a virtual support system of people that support me!
So clearly I had goals in mind when I had my surgery beyond the basic obvious - losing weight! One of those goals was to be called a "Reformed Skinny Bitch" and then promptly have a cocktail thrown in my face, a'la Dallas. While I am still waiting for that day and let's be real...it's still a few days off...I did reach one of my other goals tonight!
Anyone who's Big & Bold & Beautiful will tell you that it's not cheap. For years I have paid $75 for one pair of slacks or jeans or my favorite at JCP buying one pair of slacks for $75 and getting a second pair for half price, while other skinny bitches out there paid $20 for a pair of pants or at JCP a buy one, get one sale! Well one of my goals was to be a $20 pair of slacks that would fit comfortably and be presentable to wear in public from Wal-Mart! I know...Wal-Mart, but hey! I want cheap clothes just like the next person!
Tonight! It! Happened!
I took a leap of faith and figured if the button down dress shirt that was two sizes smaller than what I was wearing seven months ago, that maybe, just maybe, a pair of slacks ten sizes smaller than what I was wearing seven months ago would be too! Needless to say, I was right ya'll! They fit and I couldn't be happier. They were a little snug, but nevertheless they fit and they were presentable. Oh happy day! Oh happy day! Now I'm happy. My checking account is happy and Wal-Mart should be happy to, but let's face it they're just pissed I'm not buying candy bars, chips and soda pop in bulk anymore!
Until Next Time Ya'll....
