I have been trying to pack for London, and it just really was not working out very well. All of my fat clothes are too big, and all of my skinny clothes are too small. Basically I have been shopping for the past 3 days, trying to find clothes that can be mixed and matched and layered in order to save space. Well basically, now that I am a working woman, and I can't keep convincing my parental unit that they should pay for my spoiled self, I have been shopping discount and sales and it just drives me nuts! I was at Nordstrom Rack today, and there were clothes everywhere, on the floor, in the wrong place, tangled all together, had stains on them.... people are running over them with their shopping carts. I really just wanted to scream. I saw an Oscar de la renta nighty, with makeup stain all over it..... and then i saw some woman step on a pair of awesome white ralph lauren wide legged jeans, it really just made me want to cry, people need to respect the clothes! ugh... it rubbed me the wrong way. grrrr.
Well now that i've got that off my chest.... i've been pretty good with my eating and swimming and I have been relatively calm and organized considering all of the stuff I have to do this week.... let's hope it stays that way lol.

Clothes
I know you're bummed about not having clothes to wear, but isn't still exciting? I mean, realistically, your fat clothes could be too tight...so it could always be worse. I have a wedding to go to on October 10th....I'm having a problem dress shopping...either too big, too small, too dressy or too casual...BUT, I'll make it work, even if that means buying a dress that's a little too big and having it taken in.
ANYWAY, congrats on your progress and good luck on your shopping extravaganza. Maybe you should try some stores that are a little cheaper to save some money. Remember-no one knows where you buy clothes unless you tell them...or do what I do and forget to remove the tags!
Here is something simple:
Blend up Mango, Papaya, coconut yogurt, a dash of ginger (adding in whatever protien you use) and blend. there are few calories here, and it is really good for digestion and inflammation. (papaya for digestion, ginger for inflammation).
Best of luck with the waredrobe issues. I hope that you have fun in london.
I know the clothing abuse bothered you but I thought it was a cute story! I hope you are finding things to wear. Time in London sounds exciting. I hope it's a great experience for you! And nice weigh in yesterday! Good job!
I HATE shopping sale racks. But I have to, too, because it's what I can afford. Seeing clothes with giant make up stains is the worst because you just know that piece is ruined. :(
Sounds like you are doing great with your eating and swimming! Keep it up!
