Ok Tabitha, let's not use that word. "Plump"...it's like Ball Park franks. They plump when you cook 'em. Anyway, I agree with all the gals on this thread. And I'm trying to get better about the way i stand and walk and hold myself. Ever since Pilates, I've just adopted this self-confident "air"- and I stress the quotes there. I'm far from it. But I feel better about myself and I think I look better. It hink the way you carry yourself makes a big difference. I'm not used to being above normal weight...past few years the depression and chemicals (thanks to all you fabulous drugs- there are too many of you to name!)I've gained weight. I hate it. And the killer is that I don't want to get new clothes because I don't want to face the MIRRORS or my size. AND I don't want to "waste money" on clothes that i won't (hopefully) fit in to forever. That's one of the reasons I like fall and winter, btw...a sweater can stay with you for a good 20 pound fluctuation.
Yeah I look at those women out there this summer wearing belly shirts and BELLIES to go with them, and I think, "Now if she can do that why can't I?"...meaning of course, "Wowee zowee, look at that belly hangin' out!"...but I wish I could just feel better for long enough stretches to keep my diet and exercise routine in check.
It comes easy for me when I feel good.
And this time around I'm, getting totally cheated because I'm good but I have BRONCHITIS!!!!!!!!!!grr.
What's for dinner tonight?
