Victoria Beckham

Nov 22, 2009

I went to a formal family function this past weekend for which I had bought a whole new outfit.  I really take pride (and therefore invest the time) in how I look these days and how I put together my style, paying attention to detail in everything from hair & makeup to dress, shoes, and accessories.  I felt great and confident, but was still blown away when one of my family members came up to me and told me that I looked "stunning" and that I looked "just like Victoria Beckham".  I thanked him and told him that this was the very best compliment ever!  I love VB's style and glam and being compared to someone whose fashion sense I idolize really made me feel like a million bucks.  It goes to show that it is so much more than just what you weigh or what size you are - it is all about how you present yourself that matters most.

Meanwhile, I have still been struggling with late night munchies for a while now.  It seems that every time I try to get back on track, I fall right back off.  Fortunately, my weight has not fluctuated very much, but I fear bad things happening if I don't get this under control.  I know that the stress eating is from my new job (just got a great promotion at work), but I have to try to find another outlet - e.g., I may have to go back to walking on the treadmill in the evenings to distract myself.  Luckily, I will be taking some time off this week and will try to come up with some strategies to get myself organized again.

Lastly, given that this week is Thanksgiving and that I am coming up on my one year anniversary, I would be remiss if I did not mention how much of a blessing my band has been and how thankful I am for it.  It is exactly what I needed to change my lifestyle.
