I wish I was a little bit taller


Being short is quite the challenge, especially when you're also a size 16. If I was taller, I wouldn't look like I'm carrying as much extra poundage as I am. I won't get greedy...how about a couple of inches? It would be a dream to be 5'6 or even 5'5. Longer legs is how I'd like to add the height please. Who do I call to make that happen?

I'm itching for a change. Hair. Clothes. Style. I kind of feel like I'm stuck in a rut "style" wise and need to find some relief before Stacy and Clinton from "what not to wear" ambush me at work and I end up in the dreaded 360 degree mirror. This is a rut that isn't going to be cured by wearing red lipstick between the hours of 8-5pm. I need more.

I have lost 15lbs so far, so that is making me more interested in clothes again. And I am really really trying to come to terms with my "baby pouch." It's there, it's not going away overnight, so I might as well become friends with it. I'm going to try not to be so self conscious about it. Right now I opt for baggy tops to cover it, but maybe I'm going about this all wrong? Maybe I should just embrace it. Wear form fitting clothes and if someone makes a comment or I see someone pointing and staring, I'll just whip out some photos of my sweet Dominic and say "totally worth it, don't you think?"

I wish I had hair that was manageable and looked great when I woke up in the morning. Something that I could wash, let air dry and it would just look effortlessly cool. I'm considering doing the Brazilian blowout to remove frizz from my hair. It's only temporary, but might help a little.

You know what would be really great? Having a crapload of extra money. Then I could go on a shopping spree bonanza and add some new fun and excitement to my wardrobe. I window shop. A lot. I go online, put stuff in my cart and then close out the window. Do I need new clothes? No. Do I want new clothes? Yes. Is that selfish of me? Maybe, but I'm human.

Maybe if I can find a way to sell my current items, I can make enough money to buy some new threads? I know a lot of people do this by selling their stuff to consignment shops that pay cash, but guess what? They are really not so eager to buy clothes that are considered plus size. They should really reconsider because if they bought the plus size clothes, they would then sell the plus size clothes. And then I would shop there, as I'm sure lots and lots of other chubby girls would. .....wait a second, did I just come up with a possible new business?

  1. I totally do that with the online shopping! I want new things, I sort of need them, but really can't afford it. So I get the satisfaction of shopping, but without the overdrawn bank account ;)
