Not much going on today .... Thinking about stuff for the wedding.. and realizing how shopping has always been my nemisis. Reaching 211.5 pounds I never much cared about clothing.. I mean to me Walmart was just as good as any place to cover my fat ass.. Did I need name brand clothes to make me feel worse than I already did? Truthfully, I felt it really did not matter what I wore.. as long as it fit. Now I am enjoying clothes a bit more.. One of my cousins is in the fashion industry and she is going to take me shopping.. We have the opposite problems.. she is Very tall and she lost a bunch of weight .. and she has to worry about things being long enough for her.. For me I am short.. losing weight still.. and I have to alter everything. When I get close to my goal I am going to buy some stuff from her lines. Right now.. I am getting to the nerve wracking part for me .. where old clothes do not fit.. and comfortable sizes no longer work.. I know how to shop in PLUS SIZES.. but regular sizes with all the choices.. actually scares me.. Okay yeah .. call me weird.. how many folks do u know that have a shopping.. uhmm phobia maybe???? It is far easier on me to have someone go with me and help me.. I do like going to Steinmart and picking out a shirt or two.. but when it comes to real shopping.. I really start having anxiety issues... Geez I re read all of this and I sound like such a freak with all the issues in the world out there.. I am a SHOPAPHOB.. lol.. there is new term..
Okay enough rambling...
by the way still wondering if I should change the name of the blog... any thoughts.. just comment....Perhaps I should call it WISH ME WELL ... WISH YOU WELL TOO... and on that note.. well.....
Wish me well.
Wish you well too...

NOOOOO!!!!! "Healthy Honi" is who you ARE . . . it's short (lol . . . I can say that cuz I'm only one inch taller!), sweet, and to the point . . . the point being that this is who you will be at the end of this particular journey, it's who you are NOW as you incorporate all these things into your life that take discipline and pride-in-self, it's who you will always be, since it seems these are real lifestyle changes that you are making, are commited to, are fully embracing . . . I think HEALTHY HONI expresses all of that in a super-positive way, which, imo, will help you reach your goals since it helps you visualize daily the 'you' you are becoming every second. . . plus, it's just how I think of you. ;~)
I think "Healthy Honi" is a cute name for your blog.
and I agree with what coco said...even though it's obvious she knows you personally and I don't. ;-)
I was perfectly content to go around pulling up my shorts and jeans this past fall when the weight was at 29 pounds lost. I just couldn't believe I couldn't wear an 2X top or an 18W pants.
It is scary shopping in the Misses section. I'm always afraid a sales associate will redirect me to the Womans section.
My first pair of Misses things I bought were a pair of Levi's from Wal-Mart (17.99). They ran big and I bought a 14 that fit better.
Have fun shopping for those new clothes.
