Things are looking up for me and Hubby. It seems that while our weight loss stalled, we lost some inches around. On a whim, we tried Old Navy, and for jeans I am hooked! I was surprised to see that they carry 18s, and to my great pleasure, I fit in their 14s in the right cut! They have 3 different jean types and mine is the sweetheart. They look great and I even like the name. Had a great fit for shorts too, but I'm not pleased enough with my legs yet to show them off. I'll look for some capris. Baby steps.
Hubby's had a victory too, he's down under the 40s now!
In spite of this weight-loss and size loss, I'm feeling pretty down about my appearance right now. My sister's been bumming too, so we started practicing makeup every day. I'm tackling eyeliner, because I've never had a steady hand. We're also trying different colors. We're even using the scary eyelash curler. The biggest challenge for me is not picking at my nail polish. I'm on day 3 and they still look okay.

The Mall is a Whole New World!
Today Hubby and I went to the mall. It was miraculous. We went to a ton of stores I'd never set foot in before. Stores for skinnier people. We stopped at 7 different stores, and learned about their size ranges. Many were still too small, but now I like Rue21 and Body Central. Rue21 has great prices. I was very pleased. Also, Hubby looked great in a kung fu outfit! He didn't want to try clothes on, but he couldn't resist the kung fu outfit.

A day in the life of my tummy.
A lot has changed in my eating habits, daily schedule, and whatnot, so I think I should write it out here for future sleevers to get an idea of their fates.
I start my day around 11 AM with a cup of protein shake and a bunch of vitamins. They're either chewable, or very small. I take stuff like a big ol' multi, vitamin D, vitamin B12, Iron, things like that. If I'm particularly hungry, I'll grab a slice or two of deli meat. I like turkey the most. I also fill my water bottle with filtered water, add a little lemon juice and salt, and some flavoring. Dasani Drops are my favorite. Then I go about my day.
