The Only Logical Thing to do at 3am

Well, realistically it would be sleeping, but when you hear the Old Spice theme ringtone coming from your husbands phone just after 3am it's difficult to fall back asleep. 

It's probably not a good idea that I keep my phone next to my bed. It's probably not a good idea to memorize the Kohl's coupon code before giving it to your mom because you "really shouldn't be spending money." It's probably not a good idea to think about how you want your current clothes to fit, but in the mean time you also want to dress professionally and feel comfortable. It's probably not a good idea to shop at 3 in the morning..

But, that's what I did. And before those new clothes go into my closet, it's getting completely cleaned out from top to bottom. No article of clothing is safe at this point. Mostly because I need to make room for these:












I am highly excited to try the new items on. Luckily, if they don't fit or if I like them better in a small picture online than I do in person, I can very easily return them. 

I'm hoping that dressing nicely and more professionally will help with my self-esteem. I tend to feel better about myself, to hold my head up higher when I feel good in what I'm wearing, and even when I take the time to do my makeup.. 

I get in these moods where I'm all about pony tails, jeans and a shirt, running shoes, no makeup, etc.. Basically, I roll out of bed, roll into the shower, get dressed in whatever I pick out of my closet in the dark and go. I feel like I'm hiding behind my clothes, which tend to be either too tight or too loose. 

No longer!! I deserve to feel good- no matter my size or shape. I deserve to feel good during the weight loss process, not just when I reach my goal. I deserve nice things, and if that means shopping online with a coupon on already sale priced items, so be it. I will not feel guilty, instead I will wear the clothes proudly, put the credit card away and kindly ask that my husband turns off email notifications on his phone between the hours of 10pm and 5am..
