I am suppose to get newspaper and tv coverage for my grand opening. So i will make sure I link to those things when they happen.
I dont know if this is permissible or not..please just delete it if its not allowed, but... I am looking for lace curtains. I need several for windows, alcoves, off the balcony, in the fitting rooms...if anyone has one or a few they would care to sell or donate please let me know. Valances, panels and tiers are all needed and I dont need them to match, they just have to be lace...

I am so sore...I have been working at the store every day for several hours a day, setting it up, bringing in new consignments, ticketing displaying, etc. I am not opened yet, but I keep the front door open so I can get a breeze into the shop. I had several people walk in to see the shop today! I have found out my shop is the talk of all the VFWs in the area, as well as the weight loss groups and the beauty shops! Holy Moses! People I dont know are telling me how excited everyone is, how closets are being gone through, how pennies are being pinched so they can come buy, how happy they are to have a place that is all theirs! One woman, after five minutes in my store, grabbed my hand and held onto it and started to cry.
This is overwhelming for me. I knew on FB and other internet areas (like here) have been very supportive and excited about the store, but to get it in real life, direct from people in front of me, is truly, literally, overwhelming. As I said, I am so sore. Every part of my body aches and my legs feel like they are on fire. But its so worth it. Once the store is assembled, the work load is so different. Not so much laborious. More details. Like ticketing, sorting, etc. I sent a press release to our local LGBT Pride Center. Its going into the newsletter and hopefully on their web site, that my store is opening and welcoming to the LGBT community. I specifically invited the trans folks to come in, MtF, and I would welcome them especially. I have a special day with special hours just for them. Once I get the women's section done, I am adding on the male clothing line too...for bio mens, transmen and butches to shop. I love my life right now. It is so full...

I met the most wonderful woman today at my shop. She was in her late 70s. I have seating arrangements in the front and back of my store for people to rest and socialize. I was sitting at the front one, and she came to join me. She was some kind of whippersnapper, for sure! LOL. She was asking me about my tattoos and told me she was planning on getting one. Her children didnt want her to, but (as she pointed to her five earrings in one ear) she said they didnt want her to pierce her ears either but she did anyway. We sat for quite some time and this rebel amused me. I told her I wanted to be just like her in a few years. She smiled that inward amazon kinda smile and winked at me.
Its amazing how transformed I am day by day...

I decided to drop weight watchers. I allready know what I need to do with my food, Im done (just for today) for feeling guilty about not writing it down, for any ounce of guilt over what I eat. The adverage weight loss for a WW memeber is 12 pounds a year. Seriously. I am done with paying 600 a year with the likelyhood that I will loose 12 pounds.
Today Im tired of the weight of the GUILT over what Im not doing, or am doing, in order to get more social milage out of my body. I quit the gym I dont go to as well. Thats another savings of 550 a year. Maybe I will buy a kayack or some other thing I actually enjoy with that money next year. Hopefully it wont be on some gimmick to help me lie to myself that I am making changes. I either am, or am not. Every single damn day. And right now I dont need a group membership to know it. Funny, when I looked at a recent picture, full body one, from last weekend I thought DAMN I look GOOD! And I am almost the heaviest I have ever been, yet I feel better than I have in a long time. I know that there are many many people who feel that gyms and WW have made all the difference in the world for them, and Im so happy they have that. For right now, I am not buying or drinking the Koolaide cause its just leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Just for today Im keeping it simple, and letting the guilt go. It may not mean I lose much weight, but I sure as heck feel lighter. Love the thread!

Hi, the above post made me think I should introduce myself since I've subscribed to this thread and just reading a portion of the posts here has done me a lot of good!
I want to love my body as it is (large, with plenty of squish and cuddle) and not sit waiting for some fictional day when I will have some other type of body. This is the body I have, and I want to own it and love it and take care of it as best I can. Thank you so much for being here!

I am thrilled to see posts coming in about loving ourselves no matter what numbers we own. Age, poundage, dress size, etc. does not equal self worth.
Pearls, I also applaud your idea of getting a kayak with your money rather than spend it on the skinny industry. Spend it on something you have a passion for, to make you active.
