Okay, so if you know me, you know I love to shop. I love fashion... maybe not as much as some, but I do love a nice handbag and to put together outfits. But, I have to say, buying new clothes - scratch that - a new wardrobe, HAVING to buy a new wardrobe, every season for the past two years is getting old. I do appreciate every size I have been through. It is exciting to be in a new, smaller size every time I hit it, but I'm tired of spending money on clothes!! It's one thing when you can just buy a few things you like each season to supplement the wardrobe you already have, but when everything from the winter before is too big and you have to buy everything all over again, IT SUCKS! I know, I know, people tease me and tell me how ridiculous I sound, but I'm over it.
Done ranting.

Re-Inspired
I am inspired again to blog about my journey. Although I am at my goal (actually below) I still consider everyday part of my journey in weight loss. I'm trying to maintain now and I know it will get more difficult as time goes on. I hope that writing will keep me focused and motivated.
This last couple of days has been really difficult for me. Halloween candy in the house has been the enemy trying to lure me. I haven't been very strong resisting temptation. Each day since Halloween I've had at least 4 bite-sized pieces of candy. This is no where near the amount of candy I've eaten in years past, but it's more that I realize those old habits are creeping in and I need to check myself. Halloween really must be the devil's holiday!
So I have a couple of goals for this week.
1. NO MORE FREAKING CANDY!!! Seriously. I need to be strong and remember the reasons I decided to have weight loss surgery. How miserable I was. The aching joints, high blood pressure. I need to get back to basics. I had the surgery to save my life. I need to treat my body with respect and make better choices all the way around. I plan on using this body for many, many more years!
2. Blog at least 5 out of the next 7 days. I realize that I don't always write the most interesting things. I am not very eloquent. But it's about me! Not about you ;-)
