Score!

Well, being a Plus Sized girl got me something. It got one of my articles featured on the front of EzineArticles.com ! Sure, there are quite a few articles there, but only after 2 articles submitted I've achieved the title of 'expert'.

I do have alot of experience and years at this being plus sized thing so I guess that's okay.

I have no idea what it really means to be featured or an expert, but at least I get this handy little icon to put on the front of my website!

Interested in my article? Here it is!

Exercising

Today I went out for a little walk around the neighborhood. It was a nice day and finally it feels like spring may be on its way. I didn't realize how cooped up inside my apartment I had been feeling until I was able to stretch my legs.

It was nice being able to get out, but I can never relax another other people when I'm outside. My own insecurities consume me. Make me feel like if I'm huffing up a hill and if anyone sees me, they will notice. Maybe even silently mocking me.

Crazy, eh? I realize it probably all is in my head. Most people couldn't care less about little (or big) old me. I realize if I want to get out there either for weight loss or just to enjoy life, I need to get over it. Or at the very least endure it.

Plus Size Fashions

Our last post we talked about the mall and fashions. Well, just a few days after that I get a postcard in the mail. What it says is distubring. The plus sized store Lane Bryant at my local mall is closing! Now the closest one is about forty minutes away. This may force me to get serious about weight loss.

While I lament upon giving up my favorite foods and beginning a Exercise regime, there are at least online stores that can give me some clothing choices. http://www.buyplussized.com has a few suggestions on dresses and how to look my best.

Although I must say, sometimes I rather just stick my hair up under a hat, toss on some sneakers, and forget this try to look nice thing.
