New Obsession...

Am I alone here...

With my new found weightloss (albeit only 40 pounds).. I have taken on a new obsession.

As the pounds go down, my shoes are getting bigger.. I mean to the point that when I walk, they fall off.
So, now I am obsessed with looking for new shoes..

Now I have always (forever) been a wide width shoe girl.. I don't ever remember being in a B width shoe (maybe flip flops) but that doesn't count.

Even my Ryka sneakers (does anybody else call them sneakers??)  which are wide width are getting a little loose, but I just wear a heavier sock...

The upside.. my fat tootsies are showing a little better shape .. so I amgetting a bit more courageous at looking at more fashionable sandals, etc.  maybe a sleek heel is in my future!! (lord get those calves in shape)

So what did I do this morning... ordered another pair of shoes from ZAPPOS!.. help I need therapy!!

Have a great Saturday..

  1. "Only 40 lbs." Are you kidding me? That is a lot of weight to have lost girlfriend! When you go food shopping this week, pick up 4 10 lb. bags of potatos and tell me its "only 40 lbs.!!!

    I'm with you on the shoes and Zappos inparticular! Love, love, love Zappos!

    I hope you enjoy your new shoes.

  2. I want to get a pair of the Shape Ups....although I've heard there's another brand that makes one better for just a bit more, but the name slips my mind.

  7. OK - I agree, 40 is awesome. It's weird about the shoes isn't? I mean I've heard people say it, but I never thought my feet were fat. I guess they were because all of my summer sandals are huge...

  8. Don't ever poo-poo 40 lbs that are gone forever...bye bye.
    Sounds like you're having a blast shoe shopping...and it seems like you're very good at it. Keep up the good work...on the lbs and the shoes.

  9. Better shopping than eating! We have to put our energy somewhere. Forty pounds down is terrific, and the slower you lose it, the more likely you are to keep it off. I think we get stuck in the diet mentality of quick weight loss, where we see quick results, but can't keep it off. Now, you're doing it slower, and for good. Woot.

  10. I'm still more into clothes than shoes. I really have to stop myself sometimes and remind me that I wont be wearing these very long so really how many do I need? Some of my shoes are getting loser to so who knows shoes may be next. You only live once.

  12. It's worth repeating - "Only" and "40 pounds" should NEVER be in the same sentence. You should be so proud. I've heard about people's shoe sizes decreasing and I'm actually hoping that doesn't happen to me. Since I hate clothes shopping, I've put my money into shoes and have a lot of them. I'm going to be in big trouble if I can't wear them any more after I lose weight. Especially since I always rationalized the many shoes to my husband saying that they'd always fit.
