Bulges and bargains

I have decided to lose 20 lbs. Like, for reals. As Trevor said this morning, "That's a quarter of your body weight!" And I mean, he's right OF COURSE, so it will be really hard. Getting down to 3/4 of my body weight has always been a goal of mine. But for reals, I am ridiculous with myself. I have body image dysmorphia in that I think I am smaller than I am. I bought all of these awesome skirts at The Salvation Army (50% off all clothes and shoes every Wednesday! And 50% the ENTIRE STORE every last Wednesday of the month), and I just eyeballed them thinking, "Yep- these will fit....they're SKIRTS." Nope. They did NOT fit. In return, they will be punished by being sold on ebay. 

This decision to lose weight is seriously an exercise in frugality. I don't WANT to buy new clothes, and the amount of money I spend on food is silly. Out of the $12,000.00 I make weekly, $19,456.00 has been going towards food. By banishing the restaurant route, I hope to whittle my waist down by 24 inches (leaving me with a 2 inch waist). 

The worst part is when I see pictures of me taken from behind and I think- Ew. I also could not run from anything to save my life. I would get caught and eaten. My muscles are piddly and weak. Sometimes I give up on opening jars. This has NEVER been an issue. I thought I could just coast by....I've never had a baby, so I'm ahead of the game! I don't have to do ANYTHING differently! Wrong, folks. Wrong.

Anyway, so that's what's up with that. 

Here is one of the skirts I bought for $2.20 yesterday:


And a pair of boots for $3.50.

    Those boots are so you. Size 7? yeah. You look like a 7. My giant soda-bloat 8 and a 1/2's have a pair just like em!
    Remember when we were young and hot? I do. It was like last week. Actually last week I ate continuously, gained at least ten pounds, and now this week I am doing the opposite of that. This is my life. I'm Lindsay Lohan during the filming of mean girls. (have you noticed that? Seriously. She is a different weight in every shot. That would be me. Except less cocaine and theft)
