Love the pics with the tutu! Keep plugging away, you sound like you are a little discouraged. So glad about the bathing-suit story...what a great payoff! Did you know I grew up in Houston? My advice - have looowww expectations. The people are great and it has wonderful Tex-Mex. But it is gigantic, hot/humid, and unattractive. I don't know much about the area around NASA, but it is sorta close to Galveston if you want to do the beach. I definitely want to hear about your trip when you return!
Thanks Nancy!! We went this last weekend and boy were you right about the humidity!! My hair was a hot mess all weekend :) We spent most of our free time in Galveston which I loved. Anything near the ocean and i am all over it much like a Labrador retriever. If there is water, i am waist deep at all times. I'll post up some pictures soon on my Jaxonfive blog.
I started this blog out of the need for documenting my journey to health. I am 34. I know I am never going to wear a bikini again, but I just want to be healthy again. I am tired of feeling shame for looking the way I do. Also i have this fantasy of walking into any store and buying something off the rack. But I am not just going to sit back and boo-hoo. I need to get off my hump and do something about it.
The title came about when I was walking past a store front window once not too long ago and for some reason, my mind didn't register that I was seeing my own reflection in the window. I immediately went to "who is that fat girl following me?" Then it hit me. That fat girl was and is me. Yikes. Time to make a few changes.
Feel free to follow along and comment as you like. But please remember that I am in a really vulnerable position letting you guys follow my ups and downs with this . So if you feel the need to leave nasty comments, please save them. Call me hyper sensitive, but I am trying to be positive about this experience, not invite drama.
