New shirt, new size...

So, I just wanted to let you guys know I have been talking to the woman who runs www.yummyplants.com and I'm going to write an article for her site. It was suggested I write about the health benefits I've experienced since switching to a plant based diet and different things about my experiences with obesity, maybe touch on childhood obesity. It will be an article style, not blog, but I just wanted to let everyone know to check out her site, it's really great and it's for anyone, not just vegans, even if you are just looking to add more healthy fruits/veggies to your diet, it's full of restaurant reviews and recipes and also has a forum so be sure to check it out.

I have another job interview on Wednesday. I'm excited, I think I would do great at this place and I feel really confident.  I'll let you all know if I hear back.

Today I went looking to buy a new outfit for the interview. Sadly I've decided I'm not a huge fan of what I bought. I was in a rush, we were meeting Joey's parents for his dad's birthday dinner. Anyhow, I did get a shirt I loved though, it's on the right, the pic on the left is me @ 275 lbs, closes 'clear' before pic I have, the other is pretty blurry.


My new shirt is a size 16. I'm shocked, although not sure why, I am always a size smaller on top than I am on the bottom. I'm an 18 pants (Sometimes 16 if it's slacks) and 16 top, which is just.....wow. Look how much smaller my HIPS are!!!! ha. I'm in shock, sorry. :)

Off to do my c25k on the bike now!

Don't forget to enter my contest!

    Wow I can totally tell the difference! LOVE it! I'm wider on the bottom than the top too. I always thought I was an hourglass until my boobs disappeared and I found out I'm a pear ;)

    Have a great job interview!

    Thanks everyone!

    and safire, yeah my bust measurement is 47 and my hips are 51, but they are shrinking faster all of a sudden, lost 2 inches like whoa. :P Will be posting measurements when I'm done with the biggest loser challenge on sparkpeople (team white lighting if any of you are doing it) in three weeks. :)

    Love that shirt. Grats on a new size! I feel ya on the different sizes. I'm not even close to the hourglass figure you have, but I always wear a size bigger on top than I do on the bottom.

"Courage is the hallmark of a warrior"

Are you traveling this path alone, or with your significant other? Joey and I started on this path in earnest on October 19th 2010. He eventually went veggie, I went vegan and we've both become pretty health conscious.  He's lost about 22 lbs, I've lost almost 70 now. (He doesn't have nearly as much to lose.)  Exposure Therapy Joey has a fairly wide streak of social anxiety. He came with me to the gym the day I got my free 3 day pass earlier this week. He even came on the tour of the gym with me, which was panic inducing for him. I had butterflies, but he was shaking and miserable just sitting in the waiting area after the tour, and he was all alone.  Today I asked him to sign up for the 3day pass. I know right now he doesn't have the time or the drive to get a membership, he just wouldn't use it enough for it to matter. But I wanted him to expose himself to the idea, I think exposure therapy is good for him, in many ways.  I think it can help a lot of peop...

"Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving."

I looked at this blog for the first time in two years the other day. I wanted to reference a post in another piece of writing. I had completely forgotten that I had revamped this site, and I like its look now. I do honestly miss writing here. So, I might try and liven the joint up a bit. Check back soon! Where am I now? I am going for a physical next Friday. It will be the first one I've had in a year and a half.  I have been gaining and losing the same 20 pounds my entire life, it seems. I have had some severe health issues in the last couple of years, like heavy shit that I'm not going to bore you with right now. Either way, my immune system decided to go bust. I have spent close to a year trying to improve it. I'm eating pretty healthy, I take vitamins now, and immune-boosting gummies, and zinc and blah blah blah. I was also suffering from chronic dehydration. Don't let yourself get there kiddie winkies. It's a bad time. I have spent the last three months or ...

Cookbook giveaway! (Appetite for Reduction) Enter now!

This contest is for U.S residents only: Okay, so I have a few ideas for some giveaways that I'm planning on doing over the next few months. This is the first one, the next one I'll do once I hit 100 followers cuz it's a bigger prize and I'd like as many people as possible to be able to enter and spread the word. Contest Deadline: Starts now (April 12th) Ends before midnight (eastern time) April 22nd 2011 For now, I will be giving away a copy of my favorite cookbook, Appetite for Reduction , by Isa Chandra Moskowitz  << Her website. The Prize: This book is amazing, a lot of non-vegans think that vegan cookbooks are all full of strange ingredients that are only available at health food stores, but that isn't the case with this book. It has simple recipes made with easy to find and prepare ingredients and nearly everything in the book is between 200-400 calories per serving, and the servings are a good size. I've made many fabulous dishes from this b...
