For now I'll settle for torrid's 'retro chic' section ;)

What is your current style? Who are your fashion icons? Does your weight keep you from dressing the way you would prefer? Do you have a dream outfit you'd just love to wear if only you were thinner?

Don't get me wrong, I wear things that I like, but I don't love them. The things I love things like these dresses, from www.modcloth.com, are hopefully in my near future!

I think this one is my favorite:

I think my emerging shape would fill this out nicely ;)


I half wonder if Rachel from Glee gets her clothes from www.modcloth.com ...?

...and here is something a little different and flowy.

This is just me dreaming about the day I can wear the things I love. What about you?

Oh...and one last thing...wow:

    I love retro clothes too! I don't know exactly what style I fit into but I like put together looks. I hate frumpy clothes.

    Modcloth.com has amazing clothes! Christina Hendricks looks amazing in that picture.

    I have my old 80s Night corset in a very safe place, waiting for the day that it fits again :)

    Awesome dresses! I am still trying to find my style. I used to wear very boring clothes (but great makeup!). Now, I am having a great time trying on all kinds of clothes that I never would have considered before.

    I love each one of those dresses. I would dress that way if I could. Right now, I am buried in frumpy, unflattering clothes. I need a makeover! But won't allow myself one until I am making real progress on the weight loss.

    I've always been into the goth/emo/hottopic look since long before we had any of those stores even in the are. I remember driving over an hour to get there (or rather having my Mum drive me, lol, man I feel old now). I can't wait to comfortably fit into those clothes again. I have to shop on hottopic.com because they don't carry the 2x/3x in store (or if they do they sell out super fast. I used to shop at Torrid when we had one at Robinson but I heard it's gone now and they don't sell too much dark stuff anymore.

"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 ...

Fluvia Lacerda....or, life's short, have fun.

So I just read this post  about 'letting it all hang out' in the summer, by Fluvia Lacerda, a Brazilian plus size model. She. Is. Gorgeous. First, let me say, my 'thinspiration' pics are always plus size models. I have no desire to be skinny. I want to ROCK my curves. Anyhow, this is what the lovely Fluvia Lacerda looks like: So she writes this blog post about how you should accept your fat body and don't care about the judgements from other people, etc, etc. I'm thinking to myself, she looks amazing, who is judging her? Then I google her and find a 'celebrity weight gain' site that is talking all kinds of smack on her 'chunky arms' and her 'expanding waistline'. I want to cry. Seriously. If you can look like THAT and still get insulted by these people (who are the equivilant to me, of frat boys yelling "fat bitch" at me from their porch) then I just hate this world.  I ASPIRE to be as 'fat' and 'chunky'...
