FAT girl slim.... Black leather pants....

-
OK... I wasn't going to post about this... but I am just sooo excited I have to share... :-)

As y'all know, I have um.... weight issues....always have... probably always will...

I don't like to blog about my weight issues cause you never know which ex-boyfriend is reading my blog... (by the way... I am sooo much HOTTER than I was in College...) anyhoo...


Diets? - yep... I am on them ALL OF THE TIME.... EXCEPT of course, when I am not.. which has brought me to the point where I am.. /was...

I went home this summer...F.A.T ... AGAIN.... I had resigned myself to middle age.. & decided that the boxes & boxes of small clothes in the basement would be thrown away when we returned to Norway....

I even told several people on my trip home... "yes, I am fatter than I have ever been...but really I am happy..." & I thought I was.....

UNTIL, went out for cocktails with my BEAUTIFUL Kansas City girls & a couple of them KNOCKED MY SOCKS off.... OMG.... what had they been doing?...

HCG diet... never heard of it... but after hearing about my girlfriends sisters 75 lb loss... well hell, I was willing to try it...

The diet itself is good... the hard part has been all of the traveling & guests I have had lately... not easy to stay on program when you are staying at someones house.. or you have guests...birthday parties, etc...

Despite all of the interruptions..
I have lost 20 lbs in 6 weeks & I FEEL GOOD... WOO HOO...
I know, I KNOW... it is fast... but I FEEL AWESOME & am soooo motivated to keep on keeping on.

When I decided to get into shape..A G A I N... to feel GREAT for my upcoming 40th birthday I had a goal in mind....

My size 8 black leather pants . I bought them when I had dropped my BABY WEIGHT (60 lbs.) from Dane... oh yes, I still have them, 11 years later, in the "small" box.

Ran down to the basement to dig out a warm coat for this weekends Party... & dug out the leather pants... sigh...
maybe I will take them upstairs to have in my bedroom...you know... keep me motivated....
maybe, I will just slip them on now.. to have an idea how much more weight I will have to lose to get them on....
maybe... as I slip them on... past my calves...past my thighs... HOLY CRAP...
THEY FIT! THEY FIT! THEY FIT!
Now question for you... Can I wear them... without looking like they are my skinny black pants from 11 years ago? Or are they totally OUT?
My Fashoinista girlfriends from OSLO... (Hei Lauren & Tracy!) have assured me leather pants are still in as long as they are not MOM CUT...

Now what the heck would I wear them with?
HELP HELP HELP!

Hi, passing by from SITS!

Wow, congratulations... that's pretty awesome!! But honestly, can't help you on what to wear with the leather pants. Never owned any in my life. But I bet you'll rock them whatever you pair them with!

Happy Wednesday!

Oh my gosh... that's awesome!!! Congrats on the weight loss!

Heck, with a hot body, I'd wear a tight t-shirt with it! :)

I've gotta go check out this diet now!

That is the best feeling in the world. I'm going to check it out because since my wedding in May, I've gained back 12 of the 20 I lost before hand. *sigh*

Congrats on the black pants! Don't forget that weight is just a number & be healthy..... blah blah blah. :) LOL! Are you doing the drops or shots? I started the drops. Co-workers have been happy with their results.

Congrats, would love to see how you look in those pants. I don't like women in trashy leather, but classy leather. if you wear nice heels or boots with them and a ribbed sweater, and on cold days a matching short hip length leather jacket would be sexy And Classy...

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood...

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long...
