Hola! Greetings from afar. Just dropping a note to update everyone on my status. I'm all done moving, secured my job (which is freaking AWESOME!) And I'm still chillaxin in a size 4.

Sweet! Honestly, once I hit size 4, I was half expecting it to last a week.. and then I'd start gaining weight again.. But much to my surprise, its totally staying that way. I haven't changed my routine at all, and maybe thats why?

My skin is still shrinking up, more notable my tummy area and arm flab. My chest has this really awesome ribbed effect when I stand in the mirror and breath in and out. I tried popping my back the other day, and just so happened to catch my reflection and I saw the ribs on both sides when i was turning. The fat under the skin is dwindling.

I get paid next week and I'm splurging... going to buy my first ever piece of "techno geek" electronics. I've been "Googling" and researching different statistics and I think I've settled on getting a 50" plasma tv, which requires a new entertainment center for it to go on..... I've also budgeted for a (clothing) shopping spree, complete with alloted funds for accessories,  coordinating shoes, and new make-ups from Sephora!!   Obviously, the new job rocks my socks.... and it was a long time coming.

I've discussed a few different options with the hunny about when I get paid within the next couple of months we have some fun ideas going... But personally, since he's been my right-hand man, and nothing but amazingly good to me this whole time.. I wanted to plan a surprise for HIM. There is a convention going on in New York City in February 09 that I know he'd be totally excited about. I've already researched hotels - prices, distance to convention center, as well as distance to major areas of interest (like Times Square, Central Park, etc) of course I've checked on flights and dates - and its all incredibly reasonable. I wanted to take a vacation, but everywhere I wanted to go was out of the country and I couldn't exactly surprise him with that since he doesn't have his passport already.

But anyway.. thats the latest with me. I have to hop in the shower so when the hunny gets home from work, we can go get our new entertainment center. This is the one we're getting:
and the tv:

So my weight has officially plateaued off I believe. I am totally stuck between 130 and 135.. Everyone keeps hounding me to stop losing weight now, and they aren't believing me when I  say I haven't lost anymore. It dawned on me that the reason I'm looking smaller and smaller, is because my skin is finally catching up hardcore. So with my skin shrinking up, its looking like I'm losing more weight still.

I can actually say, I am only 10 pounds over what I truely (secretly) wanted. My honest goal weight was 145, which I'm obviously below, but I just had this lingering desire to push it to 120 or 125. Maybe it'll be possible with all the skin shrinking, who knows.. 

I'm moving this weekend. Relocating! FINALLY. Going to live with my hunny in a town far far away from the armpit of texas I'm currently in. My internets get shut off on Friday and I'm having a going away dinner tomorrow night, so this will be my last post here (at this apartment). I've gone through SOOooo much in this place in the last year and a half. I've been dying for this transition for a long long time.. and I'm sooooo fucking excited that it's finally here.

My life has changed so freaking much its unbelievable.

I'm weighing in at 139 now... weird. but nice. I'd like to keep going. I think I'm going to have to buy new jeans... the ones I have are baggy on my ass. Looks horrible. but it would bring me into a size 6.. payday (thursday) I think I shall go shopping..

guys are flocking. which is completely fucking with my head. I have 4 exs trying to get me back, 1 guy who isn't an ex, and then Thomas.. the guy I'm seeing, but haven't made "official" yet... 

I want Thomas...... desperately..

but all the exs and such are messing with my head a lot. I don't do well in situations like this.

blah..

My first post under my target weight. I'm 150 at the moment, in a size 8 pants.. Medium top.............

and still dealing with body dysmorphia issues... I look in the mirror and still see 'chubby'... it sucks.. i wish i could feel more comfortable in my skin!!

I have a new man in my life.. he's the greatest.. think he may actually be the one.. but we'll see lol....

I can't believe i'm only 5 lbs away from the actual so called "unrealist" BMI for my height... unreal..

I bought my first suit for work and I took my mom with me to get her expert opinion on what looked the best. 

long story short, all the ones on the sale rack were 10s and too big. I've dropped down to an 8 now... at my favorite store.. Banana Republic. I have to wear those dELiA*s jeans of mine with a belt or I'm fighting with them the entire time.. they keep slipping off my hips.

so anyway.. I had to buy a full price suit at Banana Republic .. which wasn't cheap by ANY means. But it looks damn good. LOL... this shit is getting way too expensive.
