Isn't it amazing how much more fun shopping is now? My husband loves to buy clothes and jewelry for me now and I love wearing brighter more modern clothes. Congratulations!

It is fun!  I want to shop at Forever 21.  I know it's for younger women/girls, but some of the clothes are just so cute. They have lots of floral and pastel items.

Do your thighs sweat now? I don't wear skirts because pantyhose tears my thighs apart when they rub. Also, because my legs are so fat. I'm looking forward to being able to wear skirts, but I'm worried that the loose skin will drip sweat. I'm in Florida and we haven't had winter for two years now, so lighter clothes (than jeans) will be a plus. That's an nsv I hadn't thought about.

You could wear shorts, or when I went on a cruise I used plain solid deodorant and rubbed that on the inside of my thighs.  It helps keep the extra moisture away and also lubricates the rubbing so that it doesn't burn.

Invest in a split slip, it will keep your thighs from rubbing and keeps you cooler under dresses and skirts.  Enjoy your summer weather...

My thighs don't really sweat much.  There was a time when they did and pantyhose were not something I'd wear very often.  Now, though, they don't seem to rub or sweat.  My thighs touch, but it's different?  I wore pantyhose not too long ago and didn't have any problem with rubbing.

I remember my mother making attempts to be healthier, always going back to bad habits, and being "sick" all the time.  I don't want my daughter to experience the same with me.  My goal is to be a healthier mom, helping my daughter to learn good habits and how to make good choices to be healthy. 
It's just an added bonus to shop for new clothes with her!
