Reasons to be slim



Ok...I'm not even going to talk about how the scales haven't budged since yesterday (oops). I'm also not going to talk about how the car has stuffed up AGAIN (oooops...) and how I'm not going to be able to continue with the naturopath (oooooooops).
What I am going to do is remind myself why I need to be slim (apart from that whole 'health' thing). Thanks Kerry for reminding me of the gorgeous winter clothes I am going to be able to wear this year. I won't be able to wear them 'til towards the end of the 'official' winter, but as it's still high 20's here in Perth, I think our winter will probably go right through to September this year.
Anyway, I have a coat and boot problem. Here are my coats. I can get two of them around my huge hulking back (but still can't do them up, do to my giant norks). Just to be able to wear a nice coat would be LOVELY. I did have a stretchy black horrible nanna cardigan I wore for the last two winters to cover up all my sins but I've thrown in it the green wheelie bin in anticipation of never needing it again.
I love my coats but I'm running out of room to store them.

OMG..yes thank God for handbags.

I've got some great knee high boots that only do up to just past the ankle :o(

Hey Frankie. there's some great looking coats there! I've just started my collection and been haunting the op shops. Found a great 100% wool grey jacket. Just gotta get it taken up in the arm length and drycleaned...outlay less the alterations - $8! Bargain!

Oh! Got some great red leather pulps from the same op shop for $8 too! Can't wait to wear them. :)

Kerry I'm definitely going to have to go Op shopping. I got most of the coats when I had money. Some were boutique, some were Target...

I have had some great "nanna" coats in the past from op shops though but they were when I was clubbing and around 52kg so got rid of them years ago.
