New Clothes

During my first year of college, I gained weight. In denial and frustration, I continued on my path until I'd gained 60 pounds and 4 pants sizes. In my disgust and need for money, I took all of my clothes that didn't fit to a consignment store. In April, I decided that I could not live like that anymore. I started eating right, educated myself on nutrition, and have been exercising and working out. It's led me to lose 20 pounds. I'm so proud of myself and am feeling and looking much better. Unfortunately, I have nothing that fits me. All of my clothes are baggy and I'm constantly having to adjust them to keep them on me. I know that it's a long shot, but I would be so grateful for a gift card to Walmart, Kohls, Old Navy, or JC Penney.

I'd need size 12/13 pants and size large tops. I'm a pretty simple girl. I like basic jeans and plain tops. Especially the "hippie" looking clothes. Haha. I gained all the weight by doing what has gotten several other people in trouble, going for convenience rather than nutrition. I'd get off work and go to Taco John's or Burger King instead of coming home and making something instead. But I've since learned and continue to do so. I've been trying new things and have found several that I really like. I eat as much organic food as I can, and only eat once a week because that's my time with my dad. I was so impressed by how much better I feel after making this lifestyle change that I've decided I want to major in nutritional sciences so that I can help others live better lives.

Good for you! You need to post your current sizes. A hero may have some gently used clothes for you. My DD and I were just discussing how everything that tastes good is fattening.Someone told me God made the chocolate, and the devil put the calories in it. LOL I hope you get a bunch of heros.
