FATshion Journal Blog by Lilly

Merry Christmahanakwanzika!!! Thank You Kevin- Love It!!! Can't wait to apply what I read! I have decided to write today since my plan is to be in bed until I gotta get up and head out to the Warriors game... Woohoo (I'm Yawning as I say this) No worries I do love xmas - Our festivities occcur on Christmas Eve - And I know it's not stuff your face day but I feel this is also another day to give thanks for all of life's blessings... And before my blog is at the risk of being labeled the "I Love Vinh" blog - I really want to, first, thank God for everyone and everything that I have in my life... I have a roof over my head, food in my belly (plenty plenty of food), people that love me for being me, and that would be enough... And God still continues to bless me with nights like the one I shared with both of my families last night... Family Ngo and Family Luna-Paredes :-) I had so much goooood foood! And I laughed and I cried (Had an anxiety attack bef...

I am constantly thinking about what to write about and the subjects come at me like locust in an end of days movie and then I just feel more scatter brain and overwhelmed to write anything at all... And recently, just when I thought there was no wrecking ball to break down my writer's block,  it was brought to my attention that this blog is seeming more like a cluster of rants... And I honestly think that's what they are and will be...??? Since joining the 21st Century (For those of you that don't know; I just a got a smart phone and barely joined Facebook and all other forms of Social media) Naked, only in his arms, for life, literally and figuratively Well now, I have this compulsion; I have a thought and I want/have to share it immediately BUT sometimes I let the thought simmer and let it simmer - Until I can articulate my thoughts ... So Please bear with me while I send out a search party to find my blog voice -and in the mean time her...

PS. From Post #5:  Positive self-image is what I was talking about...  .Read "The Militant Baker" found to the right... Please No More body shaming one another...After you finish reading my post #6 wink-wink.. Ok now for Post #6... I started to think about this post while at work attending some pointless training about timesheets and 401(k) that we could have picked up from a booklet...Ugh... So Yay Me! I found a way to get paid for writing my blog- Commence Maniacal laugh...muahaha!!! I also hate these meetings cause after 6 months and a promotion I still feel like the new awkward kid at work... So thanks ugh-some work-place... In the last few posts I have let y'all take a peek into my head... and you've only gotten... really... a quick glimpse of the Tiny Person that exist in my head- Source: nataliedee.com I don't know how they captured an image of the Tiny Person in my head but here it is! The Tiny Person in my mind (I know you're wondering......

The story of my life and will always rear it's ugly head... Ok... I got something to tell y'all... I mean... take a seat if you haven't done so and if you're sitting then you gotta lie down... It's top heavy news... It's bananas! and I am still in disbelief that I have decided to write about this... Here it goes... I. AM. FAT. Goodness gracious it felt so good to get that off my chest... phew! Now I know, you're thinking "Thanks Captain Obvious"  and you're also thinking "why, what's, with all the dramatics..." You see today is Thanksgiving and some time ago I told myself that I wanted to lose weight before the holidays so I can stuff my face wit hella food... AND A few months before that, one of my initial thoughts after being proposed to was "I guess diet begins soon" (which I obviously have not done) AND a few months before that, at the beginning of the summer I began to plan a diet and exercise regimen A...

My Babo... And his Boba The kids face in the background is awesome! I understand how contradictory I can be; After all, the name of my blog is "Happiness is Way Overrated" yet I am a major Disney fan! An Annual Passholder as a matter of fact... Thanks to the LOML +Victor Ngo And I have delayed this post because I didn't want to bore folks with a post about how well my detailed Disney plan was executed (shameless self-affirmation)... The whole ride home, besides struggling to stay awake for my Babo, I thought about what I wanted to write about and I couldn't get this overwhelming feeling of awwwww... out of my chest.... And yes part of it was the magic of Disney but MAJORITY was realizing that I had fallen in love a little more with my fiance.... (Barf bag anyone....?) Ugh... I know it's sickening... But I really did! Let's get real for a sec...There are moments that I want to strangle him...(But I won't til he signs that life insurance, commenc...

This is my GAD and OCD  at its best! Disorders my ass... Ok - my state of mind when I came up with this blog entry, I was pissed off and irritated but today, after a whole day of Disney movies and lounging I have had a hard time getting started (I have also been planning our next Disneyland trip this weekendand it needs to be perfect since it's my x-mas gift for my parents and niece) Now! I am the kinda person when I hear someone say "How are you doin?" and someone responds "cant complain" I think to myself   "Oh, I bet you I can" Hence the title of post #3 And now I'm trying to channel that person and eureka!  Found the anger! Grrr.... (Yeah that made my point) Here is the back story, last Sunday I met with my friend,  +Sylvie Roussel   that I hadn't seen in over a month (thanks to her for tracking me down) And obviously there was a lot to catch up on! It has been busy busy - when I wrote Post #1 It had been the first weekend in month...

Baggage Claim - Pick up at Gate Misunderstood Welcome Back Readers! I had promised myself I'd be back every Saturday - but I thought I would wait this time around until after catching up with friends and family - for inspiration.... I am a bit of a night owl - so I will just go ahead and aim for once a week - let's  hope someone holds me accountable- how's that sound Fred? - Fred says "Sounds gooood" So here you go folks Post #2 Woohoo! And I am already struggling with writer's block and my bestest friend, procrastination... In my previous blog I talked about the shit load of baggage I have (which I will delve into like later-later) and I also mentioned my friends (one of which is my cousin  +irlanea Luna   [I love you and thank goodness you're an orchid]), The 3-5 people in my life that truly know me, but not necessarily all of me - (Because I compartmentalize a my life - it's just not all folks can handle all o' this) have brought s...

Hello World! Or in other words the few family members and/or friends that have added me on their Facebook or Google+... I have been talking about starting this blog for over  10 months... yes I have a procrastinating  issue - a major one (please see attached picture[after reading]: one of my favorite things to do; chipping off my nail polish and convincing myself that it needs to get done before I actually do what needs to get done) Anyways, as I was saying, I want to further explain  why I started this blog - well one of many... One of which, you can say, I have been on a soap-box most of my life (self appointed) - thinking that I have the answers to life as if I were some kinda modern day Socrates cause I read a couple handful of books about life, religion, faith, the road to happiness and blah blah blah blah blah (I wasn't sure how many blahs were appropriate so I had to say it out loud - try it out - I promise it needed 5 blahs) So being "Ms. Knowing It All"...
