My Blessing for Today

Some of you might know I gave two huge garbage bags of clothes to the church rummage sale give away that took place this past Saturday. What that meant was that I had very little in the way of clothes left. All those clothes I gave away no longer fit, so it was a good thing. Gotta love this diet plan I'm on when I need to get a completely new wardrobe. So, after the Y this morning I headed to Wal-Mart with clothes shopping in mind. I also got more bananas. They just don't last long in my house. Anyway, I didn't find too much in the way of pants, just a couple pairs of shorts, and that from the lingerie area. Hey, they look like regular clothes, and they're much more comfortable anyway. I also got a couple shirts on the clearance rack. My grandson gave me a gift card for Christmas that I hadn't used but once and for a very small amount, so I had most of that to use. I also used my food share card for the few groceries I got. Hoping I wouldn't need to use anything from my checking account. I get paid on Wednesday So, I felt the blessing this morning when everything was covered by those two cards. So, I've added to my wardrobe. I don't expect to buy too much before I get to my final weight and size, but I gotta have clothes to wear and when the thrift shops don't have what I need, and their prices are comparable to what I can get at Wal-Mart, I shop Wal-Mart. Have you received some great blessings lately? Thanks for reading.

Yes, they are. I just need a couple pairs of long pants, and I'll have all I need for the summer. I'm so happy with this diet.

I'm still around a hundred to go. The fact I'm going down inches is a good sign this diet and exercise program is working.

It is always nice w to find clothes that you like when you go out shopping for clothes I usually pretty much have an idea of what I want and that sort of comes in the way. How is your swimming going. Yes, have been blessed with many things

At least you got some clothes that fit you and got to use the gift card. What is a food share card? Is that food stamps.

Yes, it's food stamps, only it's called Foodshare here. Yes, I am very happy they fit. It makes me feel good that my clothes size is going down with my weight loss.

So happy you received blessings and some new smaller sized clothes. Best not to buy too many while dieting!

I know, but I need something to wear. I'm so happy to find I'm only one size away from what I used to wear before I went to college all those years ago - I'm talking 1992, not when I graduated from high school. That's when I gained this weight, sitting in the classroom all day. Now, it's finally coming off.

Thank you. Smaller sizes helps me keep going. I only have one more size to go before I'll be completely happy, but I also have a long way to go yet with this weight. 20 days to weigh-in and I'm hoping the scale will be nice to me this time and give me less than a hundred to go. It feels like it should be that right now.
