This post is brought to you by the letter "S" in honor of Spring!
1. Stripes- In the past month I bought and wore a horizontally striped shirt. That may seem like a weird detail to share, but believe me friends, it is exciting for me. Rule #3 in the "How to dress when you are bigger" handbook is to never wear horizontal stripes. They make you look bigger. For the first time in my adult life, I have felt confident enough to wear a striped shirt, and it felt great!
2. Sewing- My spring project this year is learning how to sew. So far, I have only tackled one project, but I am loving it! Do any of you sew? Any advice for a beginner?
3. Size changes- Today I bought size 8 jeans! That's right people, I am now in a single digit pant size! Now, some of you may be thinking, "Candace, don't brag about that. That's what size my fat jeans are." Well, I realize that a size 8 is not tiny, but it is for me! I really don't remember the last time I wore a size 8. I'm guessing middle school. And if you think about how far I've come, this seems like a big accomplishment. I started out this journey in a size (gulp!) 16. That's half of the size I used to be! And you better believe I kept a pair of those size 16s, so that when I reach my goal I can post the famous "Hold up your old jeans and drop them to reveal your new body" pose.
Thanks for letting me share my joys with you. Stay tuned for a big announcement that I will be making hopefully later this week!

Spring
Spring is almost here! (although I'm not sure that we really saw winter, but I'm not complaining about that) Here are some of my favorite things about spring:
1. Warm weather--not too hot, not too cold
2. Riding in the car with the windows rolled down
3. Getting to wear short-sleeve shirts, skirts, and sandals
4. Flowers and trees blooming
5. Daylight Savings Time
6. Festivals
7. Picnics
8. Reading a good book outside, preferably in a park or by the river
9. Grilling out with family and friends
10. March Madness
11. Cold Starbucks drinks
12. Lent and Easter
