As I anxiously await the arrival of yet another snow storm, I am contemplating my spring wardrobe. My clothes from last spring/summer will not fit so I have to build around the few items I have since found on great clearance sales and some early fall pieces that can double for spring.
I have always been too focused on quantity of separates rather than buying clothes as outfits. In an attempt to make use of what I already have and build around it, I am filtering out clothing that does not currently fit and relocating it in my house. I am still in the process of doing this. I think I need to get another storage bin to make this an easier task.
I organized my fashion jewelry over the weekend and it has already made life much easier when choosing accessories. If I have the anticipated snow day off from work tomorrow, I think I will tackle my scarves. I have been eyeing two adorable spring scarves from Old Navy but am trying to hold off buying them. How many scarves does a girl really need? ...especially with the number of necklaces I own!
The other items I need to look at are my tanks and camis. I feel more comfortable layering under tops to create a smoother line. I am not ready to wear any Spanx-like item but a nice cami definitely helps with my lumps and bumps in the belly region. I would like to get some cute ones to layer with maybe a detail at the neckline to peek at the top of a cardi or button-down.
The last items I am looking for are a pair of black, work appropriate, sandals. I found a pair I really like on CSN but they are out of my size. Fortunately, the site offers an option where they email customers when items return to stock. Let's just say I check my inbox too often for said email. The sandals are really nice in brown also so they are my back-up if the black doesn't return to stock.
What's on your to-do list to prepare your wardrobe for spring?

I was trying on clothes to choose an outfit for work tomorrow and was given quite a blow to my confidence. A shirt I haven't worn in a while is too tight to wear. That means a lot of other clothes cannot be worn too.
I have not weighed myself in months as I have been trying to focus on self-care such as exercise goals and journaling. Now, I am completely let down and feeling that fear of the next size with such intensity. I am devastated.
I would be more than thrilled to be a 14/16 the rest of my life. What a great size to be, I mean you get the best of both worlds as far as clothes shopping. You can shop in the misses and plus size departments! Right now, I am wearing a 16 but 18 is right around the corner.
What is the next step for me? I am done with the diet rollercoaster I have been on my entire life. I simply cannot afford to buy a new wardrobe in the next size. I am open to suggestions, especially from those fellow bloggers who have jumped off the diet bandwagon.
How do you maintain when you have given up on dieting?

I am forever struggling to organize my accessories. I need to see what I have when planning outfits, especially when trying to stretch my wardrobe. I found some wonderful tools to assist me in this latest project in the Target dollar section.
This first item is a duplicate of the over-the-door hooks I have on everyone's bedroom doors. We use them for towels and to hang outfits when choosing what to wear. I decided to re-purpose the new hook by hanging it on the opposite side of the door and hanging my fashion jewelry on it. I was able to sort the pieces by color so it should be simple to coordinate with outfits. This gadget was definitely worth the $1 I spent on it!
The next two items came from the same department of Target but cost $2.50. I suppose they were mose because they are a nicer metal mixed with wood. The first is intended to be a scarf hanger and the other is for belts. I say they could be used for quite a number of things including ties, purses, and an alternative for organizing costume necklaces in your closet rather than over a door.
Once I decide how I am going to use these, I will be sure to share the pics. I am really hopeful that these items will help in making better use of the clothing and accessories I have instead of feeling like I never have enough items to vary my outfits.

I finally received shipment confirmation for my three free nail polishes from Zoya. I cannot wait for them to arrive! With so many snow days here in New York, I am getting some frequent cases of cabin fever. Painting my nails is a great treatment for this : ) I ordered "Luna", "Gabrielle", and "Gigi". Thank you Zoya!
For those of you who are not familiar with Zoya, they make toxin free nail products in a HUGE array of colors. They remind me of other high-end brands only without the harmful chemicals. If you are a polish hoarder like myself, head to their site!
Happy nail painting!

Today was my younger daughter's first day of preschool. She will be three at the beginning of March so I was really torn about sending her so young. The school is for children with special needs so she will be receiving speech, occupational therapy, and have special education to work on her socialization and behavior needs. Logically, as an educator, I know this is what is best for her. As a mom, I have been a mess all day!
I took the morning off from work so we could drop her off as a family. Then I ran some errands with my older daughter before putting her on the bus to go to the very same school for the afternoon session. I then waited about twenty minutes and it was time to get my younger daughter off the bus. Both girls attend half day but during different shifts based on their needs, age, and the classes available.
My munchkin had a great first day! Everything went smoothly. She was so proud of herself and excited to tell me a few small details about snack and playing (not much info but it was something). If today is any indication, I made the right decision to send her even if I did not have the support of my relatives. Sometimes the hard choices are for the best.

Our family re-visited the really large and not very welcoming church at the end of town this morning. As if I wasn't having enough of a pity party, my children decided to act up during the service. My younger one tends to get quite loud, especially when saying something fresh. To make matters worse, a very grouchy, older couple was sitting in front of us and the husband was getting so red in the face with annoyance that I thought he might stroke out right there in his seat.
When I couldn't take it any more, I got up to take my younger darling out to the lobby only for my dear husband to intercept and take her himself. I thought I was free and clear too listen to the sermon however my four-year-old had other plans. She repeatedly crashed her body in to mine, tried to start conversations with me (very loudly), asked when "this" would be over, and sunk like a rag doll in her seat. I was about to grab our things and head for the door when my husband returned with the younger spawn.
The service was very quiet as they were doing some extended and wordy prayer. I couldn't tell if I was going to explode with anger or burst in to tears. I grabbed my younger daughter and took her to the lobby only to have her start screeching right there in front of a group of people. The remainder of our church visit continued this way until we left after the service.
A little background information that might make things clearer is that both of my daughters are diagnosed with PDD. PDD stands for Pervasive Developmental Disorder, a high functioning form of Autism. They are quite verbal but have difficulty with social situations, loud sounds, crowds, and some receptive language. Looking at my girls, they are just like everyone else. Their behavior tells a different story and unless you know them, depending on how the wind blows that day, they may seem like they are just being brats. I am sure this is the impression the nasty old folks had at church. They seemed to think I was this awful mother with out of control children. Not that having PDD or any other disability excuses bad behavior...it doesn't! As a special education teacher and mother, I know well that being a brat does not discriminate by gender, race, age, religion, or disability.
This afternoon, I am facing a few struggles.
1. What are we going to do about church?
2. When will I accept (truly accept, not deny) my children's diagnosis?
3. What in the world am I going to wear tomorrow? (had to throw that in)
I have an entire week to figure out the church issue. My issues with my girls' issues are too big to resolve in a day. I guess figuring out my wardrobe is the most manageable tasks of the day. I tried on some things I haven't worn in a while only to find they are no longer too big but snug instead. This is such a disappointment and making me feel that awful loss of control over my body.
For today, I have moved some of the things that don't fit from my closet and will find something to wear tomorrow that I feel good about myself in. I have a couple of ideas so I am not at a total loss. I was able to accept being a size 14, and bordering a 16 was ok too. Now that my 14/16 tops from Lane Bryant are fitting snugly, I am petrified! I know that I am not up for a major diet overhaul. I can only handle my current exercise goals and try to snack less.
Today, I had oatmeal with a hard boiled egg for breakfast. I had two small peanut butter crackers for a snack around 1:30. We didn't eat lunch until 2:30 so it was pretty big. I had two pancakes, egg whites, two small sausage links, two pieces of bacon, coffee, and two pancake popper things from Denny's. I would have to realistically call this meal somewhat of a binge. I waited too long to eat and over did it. It is 5:00 and I am still full. I will probably have a small dinner later or just a snack like popcorn.
Seeing my food for the day written down is making me embarrassed that I ate so much for lunch. I am tempted to delete the entire above section but feel it is important to get it out there. While I feel like some of my clothes fit like the pic above, I WISH my stomach was that small.
Ok, enough feeling sorry for myself. There is laundry to put away and exercise to do that I didn't do yesterday.
Do any of you plus size women out there relate to my struggles? How do you cope with that fear of out-growing clothes? I feel like I could be content at a 14/16 if I knew I could just stay that size. The fact that I feel those clothes getting tight is making me panic. Any advice?

Tonight I made my first successful roast beef. I was looking for a super easy recipe with only the basic meat and vegetable ingredients so I posted on Facebook for some ideas. Someone suggested using a McCormick "Bag 'N Season" and it worked out wonderfully! All you have to do it put the ingredients in the bag, add the seasoning packet and water, and cook for a few hours depending on the size of the roast. So simple. The meat came out tender and not the usual brick of beef I have had in past attempts. I am quite pleased and plan to try out more of these season bags in the future.
I am not feeling well physically which is surely impacting my emotions. I have some kind of cold and sinus thing going on and have lost my voice. I have also been cooped up with my two small children almost every day this week thanks to the number of snow days we have had. That came out wrong...my children have been stuck inside most of the time and have gotten a bit of cabin fever. This leads to them fighting with each other, tearing out every toy they own and suddenly becoming so exhausted they couldn't possibly clean them up, etc.
Tomorrow is another day. I plan to go to church, plan my outfit for work on Monday and put away some laundry. Such an exciting life. You know you're jealous ; )
On a different note, I am having a bit of a pity party today. I feel like I am being delusional in thinking I am fine as I am; rather I need to diet and lose weight. I have been doing well with my exercise goals each week but as usual, feel like it is never enough. I am living in fear of outgrowing my clothes and that is the worst feeling. I think when I am in this kind of mindset, it makes me even more compulsive with my food. I have been sloppier lately with some food choices but overall have not been overindulging. Maybe completing my mileage goal for this week and logging it will help me mood. Who knows.

Today was day three of my shopping ban but I caved! I had a gift certificate for registering on Nomorerack.com so... for $24, I scored two diamante watches, a variety pack of designer ties, a Hannah Montana activity set for my daughter and a DVD version of the Deal or No Deal game.
All things I really do not need but I figure I can give the ties to my husband as part of his upcoming birthday present and the watches will be great for summer. I really like the white one and ordered a pink to put away for my daughters. It will make a great gift when they are older and watches are not really something that go out of style.
Rationalizing my shopping, I know!
I will just have to start my shopping ban over. Tomorrow is day one!
For those of you not on a shopping ban, please check out the nomorerack site as they have great bargains.
TGIF and a snow day to boot. Life is good!

Today is day two of my 30 day shopping ban. I have caught myself checking sales and prices of items I have been keeping an eye on (like the Gap city flat in black which is suddenly 30% off with a promo, AND they finally have my size). I suppose I will have to come up with some incentive for sticking to this other than the obvious financial benefits. Ideas?
I was in a funk on Monday so I didn't do my scheduled exercise, other than insane snow shoveling, until last night. I was frustrated with some family nonsense so I was able to do two days worth of mileage and time on the stationary bike. That is what I call anger and resentment put to a positive use!
While things have been looking up in the self confidence department overall, I still find that I am putting myself down for my weight and feeling insecure. Reading "fatshion" blogs really does help. I guess it is seeing others who are similar in body-type that take time to care for their appearance and dress really fashionably. I sure wish the internet was around when I was a teenager! It could have saved me years of looking to stick-thin classmates and supermodels for reassurance that I am socially acceptable only to compare and despair. Lesson learned (for today).
I found the great photo above on Google Images. Not sure where it came from but whomever made it, props to you! I would love a floor mat like this. What a great, motivational, message to start and end my day with.
So until next time readers, "keep calm and carry on".

Shopping Ban
I am an addict it seems in all my affairs. I have managed to stay away from binge eating with success however, my behavior has once again cropped up in shopping. I have a BIG problem with sales, "it's only ____ dollars!", coupons and the worst offender is online shopping. For some reason, I do not feel like I am really spending money when I click that "submit order" button. I also love getting packages.
In an effort to free myself from this problem, and save my family's finances, I have decided to try not to shop for a month. For now, I am going to focus on a week (or day if need be) at a time.
As I type this, the little voice in my head is reminding me that none of my spring clothes from last year...
Ok, so I took a break from composing this to go through my spring selections and realized that I will be fine! Button downs can be worn all year because my building is air-conditioned and I have a bunch of cardigans that I can mix and match with different tees and tanks.
Phew!
Ok, so my month off shopping starts today! EEK!

Exciting New Reads
As I have become a more active blog follower, a few titles keep coming up on different sites and have caught my attention. I searched online and found amazing prices through an external seller on Amazon and ordered Lessons From The Fat-O-Sphere and Life Does Not Begin 5 Pounds From Now.
I have tried reading different books on related topics in the past but was in a very different place emotionally. Reading books on accepting my body while binging excessively was not going to help me learn to love myself. Since placing my focus on just being more healthy, I am feeling better and hoping if I continue my efforts this will be the trend.
I did not realize there is such a positive movement in society to increase awareness and acceptance of people who are not thin. I feel torn between wanted to get on board and worrying it will be my downfall (excuse to go back to binging). Again, it all comes back to perspective and simply doing what I need to do and letting the scale go where is goes.
Something to continue pondering and praying on...great topic on this day of acceptance of others regardless of their appearance.

Mulberry for Target
I am so thrilled at my amazing bargain find. Mulberry for Target is on clearance! While I am not usually a fan of pleather-like purses, these have a lot of style and look much pricier than they are. I got the large tote for myself and the tiny swing pack is for my older daughter (yes, my four-year-old is very in to purses right now).
When I called my sister to fill her in on my exciting news, she told me that Temple St. Clair jewelry is also marked down but only certain stores are carrying it. You can guess where I will be heading in the near future...TARGET!
Happy shopping!

TGIF
A day late, a dollar short, I know...I seem to be coming down with a terrible cold. It all started with an excruciating headache and has taken off from there. So glad it is the weekend so I don't need to contemplate missing a day of work.
I have been reflecting lately on the power I give other people in making or breaking my happiness. I had an AWFUL time at work last year mostly due to some very bitter people I was teamed up with. The negativity was incredible and there was only so much I could let slide off me before doubts and self consciousness crept in.
This year has been completely different from the last. I am so busy planning and working to keep my students working on what they need to that I have no time to get involved or pay attention to the drama at my job. In addition, I am working with someone who seems to really understand special education and the varying role my position takes in the classroom. I was so on edge when the year started from my negative experiences last year that I feel like this year could have been even better if I didn't have that baggage.
What next year will bring is any one's guess. The position I have wanted for years will be opening up because the current teacher is retiring. Will administration give it to me? Who knows. For now, I really enjoy my job and feel fulfilled at the end of the day.
Someone once told me something to the effect of don't let people take up space in our brains rent free. Another friend recently said a saying about squeezing a lemon on your head and doing what needs to be done (sounds better in the native language). The point is, attitude is everything. I need to make the decision, daily, to make the best of what comes my way.
Until next time...

Progress, Not Perfection
Today marks another day of exercise. Since focusing on my weight only brings shame and seems to trigger increased food obsession, I have been keeping my mind of being healthy by exercising on a regular schedule. I am using sparkpeople.com to log my exercise and track whether I meet my weekly goals or not. For now, I hope to log 10 miles a week and 20 minutes of cardio three day a week. Very small goals I suppose but completely attainable which is encouraging. I am in week two and have stayed on track.
A very encouraging friend always says to focus on "progress, not perfection". If I set a standard (usually close to my view of perfect) and do not feel I am reaching that criteria with success, I don't want to bother with it. I am an awful with self-sabotage.
Anyway, today I shoveled my mom's driveway and did two portions of a "Walk Away the Pounds" video with my sister. I am totally NOT a fan of exercise videos but this one does not make me feel like a complete clod-hopper so I eagerly participated. Even my girls had fun so perhaps this is something we can do together on a more regular basis. Thank you Leslie Sansone for changing my view of exercise videos. You may pose some competition for my treadmill and exercise bike.
Off to bed. TGIF tomorrow and a three day weekend to boot!

Over the shoulder bolder holders, oh my!
Not only is Lane Bryant offering buy two, get two bras free; they have recently mailed out their usual gift cheques ($25 off $75, $50 off $150, etc).
Thanks to the overlapping offers, I scored quite a bundle of goodies today when I was snowed in...
The berry colored tank and button down are the same color so I plan to wear them together. The black velvet shrug (didn't order the dress as I cannot commit to strapless yet) could probably be dressed up or down. The flats are just adorable and the green sweater jacket will be great for work.
