A Struggling Week.

I'm not going to sit here and make any excuses but last week was probably  the worst week I have had since my journey started.. I'm happy to say that things are back on track but boy's oh boys it was just bad

With something as simple as going to get some new clothes on the weekend it regained my focus and motivation back to where it should be... This weekend I had to go purchase some new clothes because I'm going to be starting a job on Friday :) My sister got me  2 shifts at the Tanning Salon she work's at.. It's only 2 Shifts a week, but for somebody who has not worked in years because of her weight, 2 shifts is a great start for me, I'm extremely HAPPY.. I Purchased a new pair of JEANS! Which was great because this was one thing I have not purchased to see how far I have come since my journey started in September... I'v gotten a few shirts here and there But here are the stats on how much I'v changed in the past few months..

Shirts BEFORE 5-6XL    NOW 3XL
Jeans BEFORE 36           NOW 26   *The way our Sizes work they go in two's so.. That's 6 Pant sizes DOWN, Say what?  I couldn't believe it!

This gave me just the boost I needed, To get my ass back in gear

I'v Found A picture from September 2011 About 2 weeks before i started my journey and WOW!! I'm going to work on the picture to show you guys because.. it's unbelievable!

I'm sorry this blog is a little everywhere.. Considering I have been Lost for the last week, I have so much to say :) I'll save some words for my next post, As I have more exciting news to share :)

Dusting Last week Under the Rug, and starting Fresh,
Monica <3


**Edit** So I found the picture here it is..

I'll be taking a better picture Similar to the one In September to give you a better idea but until then :)

  1. Hey, I'm sorry I haven't been commenting as much but I have been reading. I just wanted to say that you're story is one that can make me smile every time. You are proof that ALL IT TAKES is hard work and dedication. Everything else falls under those categories and since you're consistantly hitting both of those things you are consistantly seeing success. We're going to see big things from you.. We already have! Awesome NSVs and it's nice to hear that your shopping trip helped set you on the straight and narrow. It must be a great feeling to see tangible results (I couldn't remember the word and I almost put conjugal instead of tangible LOL). I am really happy for you and I must say there is no doubt - the change in you from your before to present picture is very visible. You look absolutely gorgeous. I hope you feel it! xx

  4. I know I've already commented on your success on Mt Flab Support on Facebook but I have to say again, Monica that you are doing AMAZING. You're looking fabulous. As I've already said going down five dress sizes in INSANE but I need to say it again. You don't look like the same woman. Your transformation is fantastic. I can't wait to see how you continue to change.

    It seems as though you have a good attitude to your slip up. I hope you have a great week x
