No wardrobe that fits this coming summer season!


It has been 1 1/2 years since I started my weight journey. And I am amazed to the result. I do feel very happy for the change I have been able to accomplish. However there is a problem, although a nice one I guess. My wardrobe is empty and I have nothing to wear for a hot summer. Still I am not where I want to be when it comes to my weight, so I am continuing my journey. And buying clothes will be wasted, since they will be too big in just a short while as well.

These years with overweight I have only worn very loose large tops and now I feel I am totally "allergic" to these kinds of clothes even and it really doesn´t make me feel good at all to have to put something like that on anymore.But until I can afford to renew my wardrobe more I guess I have too, and even until I feel I am where I want to be. However I am getting there and when is not important.

I decided when I started I would not even weigh myself or put unrealistic goals time wise. Still what I have accomplished is beyond anything I could ever imagine. And just by eating this incredibly healthy way I have been doing over the last 18 months, and never cheating on myself. It is all here in my blog how I have proceeded from the beginning. It has been an amazing journey and I have learnt so much myself even.

I did buy a few new outfits this year and even here I can see the progress when I put them on, waiting for them to feel good to wear really. Now I think I have to stop comparing pictures from the time I was overweight and how I am now. And I will start more to find pictures from the past to see how I get closer and closer to where I want to be, like the one on the top here today. These are 21 years apart. Still I can now see a younger and older version of myself, not two totally different people. And that is a good feeling. Inside I never had problems recognizing myself, but outwardly I had. This gives some peace and harmony in the midst of troubles of life, believe it or not.

Finally I made it into one of my my favorite Ghanaian dresses!



It has been a long time since I wrote on my blog now. Basically the reason is I haven´t felt I had so much new to write about. I have continued on my journey and done what I have done over the last 18 months every day. And I am still not tired, just encouraged, as I see results all the time. Looking at the scale I don´t do often but now and than and every time I look now there are only two digits:=)! That is a great feeling.

One of the things I have been dreaming about is to put on my Ghanaian made dresses again. Not the wide and loose one´s that I wear in my work every day, but the one´s that I have had made specially for me by seamstresses in Ghana.

AND TODAY I FINALLY COULD FIT INTO THE FIRST ONE!
I feel so happy and thrilled about it so I really have to post a picture and share. It has only been 18 months since I started and now I cannot believe the change myself really. I don´t any longer feel like putting up pictures to compare before and now. I really rather want to forget about that time.
