[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 677709, member: 19522"] I am fluffy after too many Holiday goodies. I use tank tops under t shirts and blouses, and layer with light full sweaters. Luckily fashion is on our side with swing tops and flowing, longer blouses in style. CB, I think you are too hard on yourself. I know the feeling, not liking what we see in the mirror, and how being heavy feels physically, but it is no reason to be mean to YOU! I think California has Ross stores? We have them over here, and their clothes are reasonable. They have plus sizes. Love yourself, no matter what size. I think you will find, that having clothes that fit you well, will help you to like yourself more. I am pretending that I gained weight to play a part, like an actress, and now I am working at losing it.....okay I am weird, but whatever works!

I am getting up earlier to go walking, and once I get into the routine, I find that it gets easier each day to do it. Drinking a glass of water before I eat helps. Eating more veggies and fresh food, plus making sure I take vitamins helps. I am an emotional eater, that is my downfall.
