The good, the bad and high heels… 07/09/10
I miss my high heels. Just had to get that out there right away. Where did they go you ask? No where in particular except the back of my closet or perhaps under my bed. But I miss them. I miss wearing them. I miss feeling taller in them. I miss how they make me feel. I even miss people asking “how can you walk in those things”? With my standard answer being “I’m used to it”.
Not. Anymore.
I’ve always loved and wore heels. When I graduated from high school my mom even put a photo of me and this awesome quote in the parents section of the yearbook…
Remember, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but she did it backwards and in high heels. ~ Faith Whittlesey
Ahh yes. Backwards and in high heels. Some days I feel like I’m doing everything backwards. Unfortunately without my high heels. Perhaps that is the problem. I’m in the “comfort” zone of things. That dreaded zone I need to bust out of to get my weight loss back on track and moving forward. High heels might just work.
The good…I’ve lost another six pounds.
The bad…Over the past six months. BOO…Well to be honest I’ve lost another 10-13 pounds over the past six months and over 25 pounds gone the past nine months but it has gone up and down. And it hasn’t really gone down in awhile. I’m hovering in that darn comfort zone. That place that exists and isn’t filled with high heels and great looking calves. It’s that place that I’m living in which consists mostly of flip flops and the hope of great looking calves. Hmmph.
A little over a year ago I received some health news that was scary and unknown. Today I’m happy to report I have overcome that challenge and can focus on a healthy future. So six pounds be damned I’m ready to lose. I’m ready to face my challenges and come out on top. I’m ready to overcome fear and continue to believe in the power of an amazing support system which is my family and friends. I’m ready to put the past behind me and focus on brighter days.
I’m ready to wear high heels again.

Thanks for the encouragement Lorrie! And yes I’ve made great progress the past 9 months in pounds and a lot of inches
It’s just me, I want to finish this race and there are days when I could definitely have done better.
I know how you feel but I don’t miss heels…I miss boots. My last pair were too small to go around my calves. I was so super sad. I haven’t worn boots in years. Geez, I’m totally sad now. lol
Hi Pamela!! OH NO! No sadness…bust out those boots baby and make it a new goal. BOOTS or bust
We can do it together! You in your boots and me in my heels! xxoo
I’ve been stuck too, eating terrible and missing you! I could take the easy route and blame your absence for my woes but thats cheating.
instead, I’m manning up with you and getting back on track, all while supporting each other! You are such an inspiration to me. Not only weight loss but in other parts of my life! Keep up your hard work! I heart you bunches Trayce! xoxo
Rororororo the feeling is beyond mutual! WE can and WILL do this! Let’s make a pact and once and for all cut the crap and get down to business! xxoo much love to you, and know you are a continued inspiration and true friend to me and so many others!

Thank you for the sweet comment Shelley it means the world when people enjoy my writing!! Positivity baby!! xxo
Very positive!! kind of. you need to give yourself credit for what you’ve accomplished. hey, you didn’t GAIN 20 pounds in the past 9 months! Right?
The best way to do this is a way in which you can live with it, you’re not doing anything too extreme, and you can keep the weight off. You can do it!!!
Thanks Greta for the comment and the positive outlook!! YES I WILL keep it off and also take the rest with me
