Hello,
Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers out there! I had a great day with my family, which includes 3 wonderful children.
We started the day doing a 2.5 mile walk for breast cancer. This is an annual event that we try to participate in whenever possible. It was a sunny, warm, day that made the walk along Charlotte Beach perfect. My mother is a breast cancer survivor and we walk for her even though she lives in a different city. It was amazing walking in this huge wave of pink. Some supporters, some survivors--all important in this fight. I love their slogan "Fight Like A Girl". If you know someone who has cancer or is a cancer survivor, or has sadly lost their fight, reach out to them or those around them to offer support. I guarantee they will appreciate it.

Weight: 240.6
Mood: Fine
Exercise: Lots of walking
A loss this week, I think the key (as I knew it was) is to make sure I note everything I eat. I have the app on my iPad, so it is really easy. I just have to make sure I take note.
Til next week - be healthy!

Clothing
I'm a fashion lover. I love, love, love clothing. I look at catalogs, online catalogs, watch What Not To Wear religiously, and shop way too much.
However, as an overweight woman, my options are really limited. Why don't designers see that the same styles they create for "regular" size works fine for heavier women? I hate looking at the small sections for plus size women in department stores. Isn't the average size woman a size 16? So cater to them, create beautiful clothing for them, the public demands it!
When ever possible, I fill out comment cards about the subpar selection for plus size women. All to no avail.
So, I don't only have a problem with the clothing, but I'm in a quandary. Do I purchase new clothing now as I'm getting smaller (scale may not show it, but my body is changing) or do I wait until there is more weight loss?
I'm not sure what to do. Since I've lost and gained so many times, I do have a wardrobe that can be used, but I love new clothes!
