Midlife Crisis...Fashionable....Acting Age ?!?!

Jan 17, 2012

I am a mere 3 weeks away from my two year surgiversary...really I should call it my rebirth.  It was the day that I gave my body a second chance to survive. I went from 280 to my current 152-155.

This year is also going to be interesting as I will be turning 40 in June....DAMN 40...I remember being my daughters age 18.5 and thinking that 30's and 40's were OLD.......Let me tell you this...

I AM NOT MEMAW NOR DO I WANT TO ACT OR DRESS LIKE ONE....LOL!!!

Which brings me to this question....Am I going through a midlife crisis?!   OR  is it that I am now small enough that I can wear clothes more hip and fashionable BUT am I wearing items too young for me?  What the hell does act your age really mean? Do you go crazy after losing massive amounts of weight?

Look I have a job...which I love going to....I know what my responsibilities are and take care of them first.  Meaning shelter, food and transportation are always taken care of first...thanks Dave Ramsey (I'm trying to find Financial Peace at the moment).  I make sure that my college daughter has everything that she needs to better herself later...hence the college education. 

I want to go out and see it all.....I'm not saying that my daughter is grown and no longer needs me...we all know that 18 to the early 20's is not really grown HOWEVER we as parents must let our kids make their mistakes and learn from them as we all did.

I like going to clubs...do I want to go every night ...NO....the last time I was at a club was March a year ago.   I want to learn how to Salsa, I love going hiking, I LOVE MUSIC...all but classical...just can't get into that......LOL!!!!  I love sporting events...I have been to a few AL football games, AL Basketball games and already have plans to attend a few AL Hockey games...YES.... we have hockey in the south......I am looking at buying me a car in about a year...It will be a 2 door sports car...no need to have a 4 door.  I have a few in mind that I want.

So here I am back to my question......

Am I going through a midlife crisis?!   OR  is it that I am now small enough that I can wear clothes more hip and fashionable BUT am I wearing items too young for me?  What the hell does act your age really mean? Do you go crazy after losing massive amounts of weight?

Here are a few pictures of me...what I wear to work and "Out and about like a scout on a route"....





This is me and my baby girl on the way to the ATL last summer......
