I am NOT wearing clothes from the fat lady section!!! I'm wearing size 20 Old Navy jeans and a t-shirt (size XL) from a department store. I feel like I should have more clothes on. After so many years of wearing a shirt that covers my butt and wearing baggy clothes, this feels VERY weird.

I do know what you mean about covering up katie. It is weird not to have my shirts go past my butt and makes me self concience. Often times I'll leave the house with enough guts to do it but wear my coat everywhere. I think that this is something that our old heavier self is going to train our new slimmer self. Did I tell you that I have put a picture of me of now in my cupboard because I don't see myself that way. When I look at her I think, she looks pretty good and I have to remember that is what I look like and it's not an old picture of me.

I feel so good today! I wore my black head band, which dh commented that looks good with my newest black pants I can now wear. They have slits on the bottom sides so I can wear them with any shoe but since it was nice out I wore black sandles. I wore a blue striped nylon shirt with my black necklace with asian writing on it. Feel all dressed up and ready for the world!

Katie and Heather - it's so good to hear that you are feeling so good about yourselves now. It's really a good idea to look at your NOW pictures, so you'll get into your head that that's really you!

I felt so good today!! I wore my red butterfly earrings to match my red shirt and my black shoes with red flowers on them. I wore my black dress pants. We only did a little running around but it is nice to feel comfortable enough to run into anyone. To many times I'd just wear my sweats and be out the door and see people I didn't want to see looking like this.

Today is blue knit pants and a lavendar knit top that I haven't worn for a while. White tie-up sandals for the comfort; they aren't pretty, but at least my feet will feel good!

Today I'm going to get my passport so I moussed my hair all curley and am just going to wear bluejeans and a nice blue top. Nothing to fancy but feel pretty good. Will wear my black sandles.

I've chosen a light pink knit top and green knit pants. I'm wearing a pink ring with matching earrings. There is a necklace, also, but it won't look right with this neckline.
Pink sandals.

Today I am in black. No funerals, either! Black knit pants, black knit top, mock turtleneck and long sleeves, and a black scarf with white dots, for a little flair. I just feel good wearing black. Don't get me wrong, I love color, and can wear nearly every color in nearly every shade. But sometimes I just like the look of all black. And I'm wearing my black flats. I used Gardenia shower gel, Gardenia lotion - even on my feet, so when I take my shoes off, the smell of Gardenia wafts up, and Gardenia perfume. I smell good today!

I just love Gardenia's, you must feel so wonderful. Today I'm wearing my new favorite black pants with the slits on the bottom and my purple velvet shirt. I'm wearing my black headband and purple dangly earrings. I really enjoy dressing up even if it's just around here. The better I feel the better I want to take care of myself.

Well, today I'm somewhat more casual. Black twill jeans and a white t-shirt with a lot of beaded stuff, fish and things, on the front. It's getting big on me, so I'm going to wear it while I can.

I'm wearing lavendar today. Lavendar shower gel, lavendar perfume. I have lavendar lotion but didn't use any this morning. I even have lavendar liquid hand soap, and room spray. I love lavendar to relax. Not that I need to relax this morning!

Oh my gosh! There is a thread for getting dressed EVERY day??!! This is a challenge I need to be in. Seems like the only time I get dressed is when I have to go some where. I mean, I have let myself go so far.. have I even brushed my hair today? No, and its almost 2 p.m. !!! Being a SAHM, I thought I would be running around, getting things done for the kids, but we only have 1 vehicle, so I have to make apps and such after 3 p.m

Today I did (sort of) get dressed. I threw on a pair of DH shorts....can't believe I am still fitting them.. I swore to myself I wouldn't buy "fat" clothes so that I will have more modivation to get smaller. Well, that has been silly. I go to town wearin my DH clothes..guy clothes just doesn't fit right on a dumpy women. lol I feel I always look bad and I know its my fault.
So to sum things up, yes I will join this challenge.

Welcome, Bonniejo. When you feel fat and dumpy, frumpy, and unattractive, you need to pamper yourself, and making time to dress, or to dress better, is worth the effort. Glad you are joining us.

For years I was a SAHM, and I remember wearing the awfullest stuff, because who saw me but the kids and DH? Duh, who is more important to look good for than family?

Welcome Bonniejo!! I'm a sahm mother too and can't believe how much I get done during the day when the first thing I do is get up and dressed. I try to do it all before my family gets up so I can make them breakfast and have a nice relaxing morning. It just keeps setting up my day. I look good, feel good, have the house wanting to look good and me wanting to eat good. Maybe I'm turning into a Stepford wife .

Today I wore my gray sweater (it was cold) and button fly bluejeans with tennis shoes for my walk.

No one's posted for days, so maybe we "don't looka too good" lately????

Actually, I've been in either sweats or pjs the last 4 days. Well, they are Betty Boop bottoms, so I'm sort of classy looking. I'm going to take a shower this morning and crawl into the sweats, maybe even crawl back into bed. Tomorrow will be a better day, might even make it into real clothes and get back to the office!
