Diane's post inspired me to go shopping last night to see if I have lost enough weight to POTENTIALLY fit into a pair of boots.

WELL, I know they aren't the zip-up kind but instead crochet... but still!!!
I have NEVER been able to wear boots because of my (now not-so-huge) cankles... I hope no one thinks it's silly that I celebrate these miniscule things, but I have NEVER been able to wear boots in my adult or even teen life! I almost cried when I was actually able to pull these up!!!!!! Granted... I look like I just walked out of a high school in these, but it's the FIT that counts!!!!!!!  I know the almost 20 of you that were at MG coffee already saw me in these.

Also... I was browsing through my photos from living in London this summer and found this hilarious BEFORE photo taken during a NUDE BIKERS PROTEST, lol. And those girls I am posing with? Yeah, I roomed with about five SIZE 2 girls.... boy did I feel like a blimp at my highest of 304lbs.

Oh Elena, this is not a "miniscule thing"!!  This is a huge thing to those of us that long to fit into tall boots.

I have to say WOW to your before compared to your now!!

And your biker friend?!?!?!?!?!?!?!.............. interesting

OMG, Elena!  After Nicole and I left MG coffee, we went out to pick up a couple of things.  Nicole wanted to see if she could find a pair of boots like I have (ankle high).  So we went into the boot section.  We both tried on what I referred to as "Hooker Boots".  We were both able to put them on and zip them up all the way to the top.  And I even took pictures!

I am going to try and post them in my profile.  I can't seem to add them to the message

WOW!  I'm surrounded by boot *****s!!!   I may have to see if'n I can join ya!  My only boots for the past umpteen years have been my Steger Mukluks - which i LOVE, but even those I had to special order an extra 3" around the calf (partially due to scar tissue on my left shin from a bad wreck half my life ago...).

Wonder if I could do me some hooker boots? 

Oh, who am I kidding.  I do NOT do heels.  So dress flats or slight wedges would have to do...


  Imperfect does not = unsuccessful

Elena, WOWsers!  Uh, the boots--and there's nothing miniscule whatsoever about the BOOTS...(the biker, perhaps ), but definitely not the boots!  You GO girl!  Hugs, Patti

Let's har it for boots and the beautiful Elena!!  I have learned that there is no such thing as a samll WOW!!  This journey teaches us things through these gentle reminders- and boots!! 

As for being boot *****s...... this is Minnesota- boots are a necessity!!

Enjoy your new treasure!
