You're looking great! Your vibes look shiny and healthy, too.

I was wondering how you did it.

(I got this whole bunch of jeans, and they were too tight when I got them.

Ran low on clothes this morning and Voila!

They actually fit.

If there is one thing I absolutely despise with every fibre of my being, it is clothes that confine.)

But seriously, well my Dad took pictures of that dress (and me in it), I mean everyone deserves pictures of a real crappy outfit, right?

I might consider posting them for a while if he send them to me tomorrow or the day after that. lol

Hey, congrats about the fitting jeans. Great feeling isn`t it?

I am terrible, I wear pants that I can take off without loosening a button.

I suppose I should try to please the public, but I'm so selfish, I only dress for comfort.

Terrible...

I like my clothes to breathe.

Did you just cut down on any certain foods?

Or was it an exercise regimen?

Well I spent a lot of time in other forums, doing a bit tarot and lenny training.

I ask because it is so different for different people.

I have started to go to the Weight WAtchers meetings, well not really fond of these meetings, though they can be fun, if you substract the "cult-factor".
Well not really a cult, but first time I went there I was taken aback by it, I get it they want to advertise and sell their products to make money. A LOT OF IT.

Anyway, luck has it that the trainer of this particular group is very down to earth and not a blind follower of the program as well, so that is helpful for me. To be honest I profit from the weekly weighing (only the trainer sees my weight and notes it down) and I love the internet assistant, where I can see diagrams about my weightloss. a lot of things to play around with. lol

Well to answer your question, I mostly just changed my eating behaviour; I mean I still like some of the unhealthy food now and then - like chocoloate-, but less and more rarely, and that seems to do the trick.

I am allowed to eat anything, nothing is forbidden or taboo (that would not work with me at all), it is just about the amount of it.

I should exercise more, but I don`t. I am fitter though than I was before, which means that I walk more, and if I am in the mood, use my exercise bike (I should be more often in the mood though. lol for a Mars in Sag I am extremely lazy).

Anyway, about the awful dress, even though it IS awful, I like the upper half of it. I am pondering now if I shall have it cut. You know get it to someone who can make a blouse out of it, instead of a dress. What do you think?

And yes the pink one is still a bit tight.

I think after 15-20 more kilos or so I am going to start thinking about stopping with the losing and instead working on maintaining it. This will be quite some challenge.

Agreed, it'd be nice to a have shirt in that style. I know nothing about tailoring, but I'm pretty sure I've seen shirts like that for sale lately...definitely in the past.

posted July 18, 2014 12:09 PM            

that`s really nice of you.

well to be honest I thought it would look even more awful.
Of course I would never wear boots like this to the dress, I was incompletely dressed. lol

Anyway yes, about the waist. I just called a tailor and am going to see her tomorrow, so she can have a look at it and see if it can even be done.

I imagine having a blouse cut that reaches to mid thighs (at the longest) and wear it with a black belt or something like that. oh and slim black trousers.
AT least going to try how this would look like.

Of course the colour will still be very orange.

Or as my mom said: You ARE aware that you are going to be in the absolute centre of attention wearing this, right?

posted July 18, 2014 08:27 PM            

You are much prettier than that dress.

I sure hope so

I just got it to the tailor, who will cut it to tunic-length. I was wearing black trousers when she was making her marks and it already looked much better; at least I do not have to throw it away.

And yes, smaller portions, making a decision what to eat and how much of it, and support, yes, but mostly from an email friend, who had been at atime even more overweight than me. She was weighing 180 kilos at her height, then got a surgery, which helped her lose some kilos, but was already gaining weight again. And when I made my choice, she was almost at the same weight as me then (maybe 5-10 kilos less or so, which was already a weightgain after the surgery) and she decided to join me. We have been comparing our numbers every week since then. She is doing it all on her own, without WW, but she is exercising a LOT by now, which led to her losing weight even more rapidly and more than me.

It`s actually almost scary, from her hightes point before the operation she has lost almost 90 kilos by now, and from when we started a bit over 50 I think. Anyway that is rather helpful, too, keeps me ambitious. lol

Additionally I have all the support I could wish for from my family and colleagues. So that helps, too.

I am slowly becoming the Queen of Wands after all. lol

And he likes me in Red.

(well Red is his favourite colour, just as it is mine; we can`t deny our fire-signness I suppose. ).

Hopefully the tailor got finished by tomorrow so I can see how it looks as a tunic; though, hmm, I thought it was rather tight, round my waist, but it does not look that tight on the picture. I will have to see how it looks on me tomorrow, and maybe really wear it with a belt. Well I will think of something.

After all I am going to be on the open air on saturday, so if this will not work, I have to think of something else.

So you're going to a concert on Saturday eh? Have LOTS of fun! I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
