Either way it costs a lot of $$$

This past week I have gotten a bunch of compliments...about my weight....

I have previously written about how within the past year and a half I have lost about 40 lbs...a majority of that between last Feb and November of 05...

A few weeks ago I went back on WW - forked over the money - got my little weekly coupons and settled back in - I knew this time around it would be harder for me to loose the weight at a nice clip - I have totally changed my eating habits so I am already eating the "proper" foods - now it is just a matter of tweaking the portion sizes and evaluating what I am eating every day...after all I will never deprive myself of a treat every now and then - I just have to adjust what I eat around that treat.

So anyway so far 4 weeks in I have lost a grand total of 5 lbs...I am NOT complaining as that is 25% to my goal of losing 20 lbs this go round.

But over the past week people have been commenting about how good I have been looking and that I seem to be doing really well with my diet...I know 5 lbs is nothing to sneeze at but at my current weight that is like letting loose a few drops from the overflowing rain bucket...

Now about a week or so ago is when I dropped a wad o' cash on expensive Clinque makeup and fancy Philosophy Undercover stuff...I have to say this stuff is awesome and makes my face look terrific...

so I am thinking people are looking at me and seeing me with this great face now...far far fewer blemishes (been doing the whole Philosophy Acne skin care regimen for about 2 months now - great results - still get erruptions now and then but overall my skin is a lot better and not tight...anyway lets just leave it as I am a Ho and Philosophy is my pimp daddy...) and realizing something has changed...since they know I am on a diet they go for the diet angle...

So if I break it down right now it stands at $19 for every compliment I've gotten...now if I can get it down to about $5 a compliment it will be money well spent...
