currently loving. staples & fun pieces.
Happy Thursday! I'm going off my usual course and doing a currently loving post (I explain why down below). I pulled on my dark wash skinnies and my nice leather boots today and felt beautiful... then to stay comfy but cute I threw on a plain white shirt but spiced it up with my field jacket and leopard print scarf. Then my fingerless gloves just made sense. :DSome of these items are a little on the pricey side (like the field jacket and my leather boots)... but they have lasted me forever and are major staple items in my closet. Then of course I have sooo many tshirts it is really not funny... but I love them and feel comfortable in them which is really important to me. Then of course there are those items that should never be called a staple in your closet, but I fun and fashion forward and don't break the bank- like leopard print scarves! :D

wait... what happened to weekly weigh-in?So here is the deal- the whole goal of this blog is to encourage myself (and hopefully others) to find beauty in myself (themselves) and to focus on the beautiful things around us. As you may remember Thursdays are usually my weekly weigh-in posts, but I've been struggling. I've gotten into a cycle of berating myself or loving myself purely from the weight I see on the scale that day... and its beginning to really get to me. Its driving me nuts.I don't remember if I have told you this before- but I struggle with panic attacks. When I feel like a situation is unraveling or spiraling out of my control my brain likes to pretty much shut down on me- all I can think about is the situation in front of me that is scaring me. Literally that's all I can think about- I stop breathing properly and I have a hard time speaking or moving. I know... I sound lovely don't I.Well- I've pretty much figured out how to deal with them and I have them very infrequently these days (like once every year or so... which is incredible compared to what I used to be like). Except these past two weeks I have struggled with a couple panic.... in only two weeks. Obviously I'm not doing something right anymore. I know there several factors here, but I am almost positive I am particularly stressing out over my weight even thought when I look in the mirror I know I look better than I have in years.So that being said I am putting my weigh-ins on hold. I'm still going to exercise and eat right, but I'm not going to get on that scale and just live by the way I feel in my clothes and the way I look in the mirror for a little bit. :) I hope you can understand.
