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.

"Nothing to say but Mmmmm" vegan alfredo

~*~*~This recipe is gluten free and vegan~*~*~ As are all my recipes Serves two. UPDATE: 3/17/2011 I have de-spiced this a bit and gave directions for a smaller serving of sauce. It seems I like my food spicier than most! ;) I've tried many vegan alfredo recipes I found online or in cookbooks and I never made one that i liked so much i made it twice. Always looking for something better. Tonight I messed around and created my own. My bf took one bite and he made.... The "O" face. Ha! He named this recipe when he said, "Nothing to say but Mmmm...". EDITED TO ADD: You will have LOTS of sauce left over, you can easily cut the sauce ingredients in half. Oops. What you need:  Here it is, excuse my horrible handwriting. I tried. ;) Here is a pic of stuff I used: Directions: I made the alfredo sauce while the gluten free (bionatura is my fave brand), pasta cooked.   I put 1 pack of mori nu lite silken tofu into the ninja ( my food processor above ), and...

I'm on my way!

That's it, I officially have diabetes. It's early, and I can reverse it if I try. I've started taking Victoza, it's an injection medication (non insulin) that makes you digest food more slowly. Keeping you feeling fuller longer. This is EXACTLY what I have always needed, because the anti-psychotics I take for my bipolar basically turn OFF my full signal. This stuff is great. in about three weeks I have lost 15 lbs. By my next doc appt (on july 19th) I am hoping to be back in the 200's. I'm only a few lbs away as is! I don't have much to say, other than I love this med and hope that it continues to work for me. I seem to have hit the medication jackpot. Bipolar meds are working great, I'm on neurontin now for my fibromyalgia, also working great, and now the victoza. Life feels in balance. I'm on my way!

"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...
