I Would Like To Treat Myself



Recommended Posts

Clothes are a big reward for me. I shop at consignment stores, so the cost isn't high.

Other than the great benefits of better health, I've found joy again in playing "dress up" -- even when I dress to rake leaves or to shop for groceries. Redesigning my personal style at age 70 at 138 pounds after being overweight, obese and morbidly obese is more fun than a barrel of monkeys!

All my too-large clothes are now gracing some larger ladies' bodies. I hope they're enjoying them as much as I did at those sizes.

I love getting massages and I never felt self-conscious even at 295lbs. I figure massage therapists are professionals and I'm sure they've seen it all! I am going to schedule a massage soon :)

For my ultimate treat at my goal weight I want to hire a professional stylist to help me with my wardrobe to tell me what looks good on me and what doesn't...because I really have no clue.

A personal stylist will be well deserved ???????? I know we all work too hard to not treat ourselves.

I got a pair of super cute black Coach boots when I hit Onederland!

I think I would do a mani, pedi, and highlights if I didnt want to buy clothes or shoes.

I love finding what I consider "great" finds though. Maidenform has some really great control/shaper leggings for $14, and Walmart has some surprisingly good jeggings (Faded Glory i think) for about $13. Both have been great wardrobe extenders with a pair of boots and a tunic top.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
