The Path to Fabulousness...

Its a long and hard road to being self confident and secure. I love fashion but often find myself depressed when shopping because there are so many things that I wish I could buy/fit. I'm an avid believer in dressing for your size but why is everything my size not as cute as skinny people's clothes. UGH!

I have this recurring feeling that I need a makeover. I need to refresh my style and start loving the skin I'm in no matter what size it is. It is possible to be big and Fabulous but it ain't easy and it takes a lot of work. However, it is a journey I am willing to take. While when I say makeover people are probably thinking that I'm going to slap on some makeup and a new outfit and call it a day. Truth is I want to makeover my life and maybe my wardrobe too in the process.

I heard someone say that every journey begins with one step so......

Step 1: Clean up my life and remove all unnecessary stress.

I literally mean clean up. My living space is a mess and its hard to find peace when you have chaos around you. There is no reason for me to keep any thing that haven't unpacked from my move a year ago. No reason for my clothes to be all over the room when I have a laundry basket. No reason for me to keep all the jeans I can't fit hoping that I will one day get back into them. That is just too much pressure and if I ever do get back to that size I can treat myself by buying new jeans.

I think that some stress is totally avoidable. I can't stress about a deadline if I don't procrastinate. I can't stress about my weight if I eat right and exercise. I can't stress about money if I use it wisely. I can't stress about arguing with a friend because if we argue that much maybe we shouldn't be friends. I've found that no one can stress me out quite like I can, so I think it's time that I reevaluate the things that cause stress in my life and remove what I can.
