Welcome back, shiny! I have been lurking, mostly, but I have missed your presence.

And I would love to hear what you are doing to reach your weight goals. We are similar sizes, and I have been struggling it seems like forever with that last ten pounds. It's hard to get excited about fashion when none of my jeans fit me anymore.

Cindy, I posted on the other thread, but I do not recommend my weight loss method.

Basically, depression caused me to totally lose my appetite. I have been in a mode where I have to force myself to eat, and nothing tastes right. As a result, the weight dropped right off, but who knows if it'll stay off.

I'm going to try to keep it off, now that my mood is improving. I realize now that a big reason I gained is quite simple: I let portion sizes creep up.

Sorry I don't have any better advice! Please don't follow this plan!!!!

Nice to 'see' you, Shiny! I'm looking forward to your smiling face and great picture pose again So glad you are feeling better.

No, that is not the ideal plan, but I'm glad you're feeling better.

Wohoo, it's good to see you back, Shiny! We've missed you. Most importantly, I'm really glad to hear you're feeling better.

Yay, Shiny is back! I have SO missed your posts - as a fellow five footer, you are totally my petite style inspiration and you always provide such thoughtful, meaningful advice on everything! I'm glad that the sun is shining again in your neck of the woods.

Welcome back shiny!! Gosh how I have missed your envious style and pizzaz!!

I am in the midst of a bit of a depression myself, as I am in the middle of the break up of a 7 year relationship. But I keep trying to get myself back into blogging and checking in with YLF as it always seems to lift my spirits!!

Shiny -- you're back! Oh my goodness, have you been missed. Glad the fog is lifting a bit, and will be very glad to have your petite inspiration once again.

Jennifer, do you mean the FS "Tazers"? Do you feel that the heel height is okay.

Hi Shiny, I'm so glad you decided to pop back on and say hi. I truly hope you're feeling better. We missed you!

I hope it helps to know that your fashion friends are here for you whenever you feel like chiming in. Its nice to know that the forum is here for the times we're fashion-focused and that it's okay to take breaks too.
Sincerely,
Fathenry
