I'm off to bed.
I just snipped up the better part of a pack of cigarettes into the garbage with some scissors. I knew it had to be done because thinking about doing it made me wince.
So here we go again. I'm going to keep doing it until I succeed. Because that's what I've done with everything else, and though it's a sort of a blundering, messy way of achieving success, it works to one degree or another.
I didn't exercise today. I feel bad about it. Not guilty, just regretful. I looked down at the ridged and mountainous topography of my baggy, wrinkled jeans and thought about buying new ones. I should at least go see what size I am.
I'm hoping I can put off new jeans until I'm down to a sixteen, but we'll see. My size twenties are starting to be dangerously big and my size twenty-twos just fall right off me.
Goodnight, livejournal land.

Start hitting the thrift stores! It's harder when you're still in plus sizes, but there are things to be had, and that way you don't feel like you're blowing tons of dough.
oh, and the LJ community fatshionista has sales post fridays, so maybe you kind find some good deals there. I know you're unsure of your sizing, but if you can bust out a tape measure, most of the folks will happily take/provide clothing measurements.

The snipping of the cigarettes is a good thing even if you fall down things like that should be little triumphs in your book.You'll get there just like with your diet I am sure it was hard to start without feeling deprived but you got through it right?
