Day 55!

Jun 18, 2012

Miss my OH Friends! So much is happening! 

I have been MIA from OH because I decided to start blogging about my sleeved life as a young, Latina, fashion junkie living in Chicago. I have been given a fresh start friends! I'm more confident and outgoing and the farce of the loudmouth that i was before is less for overcompensating for being insecure and more because I'm feeling fab and flaunting it! I started this Journey at 395 lbs, Going in to surgery I was 377lbs and 7-weeks out I weigh 328lbs. i went from a US Sz 12 W shoe to a US Sz 11 W. I started an online store "Thickthrift" to sell my US Sz 28-26 clothes (and will continue adding as I grow out of more clothes) in an attempt  to share my gently used, fashion forward plus clothes and save up for my new exercise clothes and future thinner wardrobe. I can taste the 200s coming and I am excited!

I auditioned for a woman's plus size performance troupe called "Thyke Troupe" and was accepted. i am also an official Blogger for "Plus Fashion Week Chicago"! So many things I would have never even considered pre-op because I now see how depressed I was. 

No more CPAP. No More Type-2 Diabetes. No more constant swelling in my legs. I wore heels for the fist time in ages! I am more energetic and my will power is stronger  than ever. Therapy and the support of my honey, family and friends has helped me increase my physical activity is up and my compulsive eating has been put to rest... minus the 2 ice cream snickers bars I have had, but I also am no purist, so that I will not even consider thise setbacks. 

How are you doing in your journey towards a healthier you?

XOXO,
