In response to your #25… going clothes shopping while you lose weight (or alter your lifestyle for a slightly healthier one) actually encourages you to maintain the healthy lifestyle as opposed to becoming comfortable and stopping.

I began to love shopping and getting new clothes since I altered my lifestyle in July. Only downfall: you cant fit into some of the stuff you bought recently because you drop a size rather quickly.

Dont let it stop you!

(also you seem awesome).

I know what you mean about having a blog and being afraid to share thoughts. I always feel weird because it is “public” so I have to be careful, even though I could easily adjust the settings so that the blog was private.
