I sort of smiled to myself when I read that you were a young girl not yet stifled by the realities of a mortgage, car loan, and motherhood. Because umm... Well I don't have a mortgage. But I do have a car loan and student loan debt and that's still almost always my FIRST question. Take tonight for instance...I bought a new winter coat for the inauguration parade. (Seriously a necessary purchase as I didn't own a winter coat seeing as how I live in the South -- and it was a STEAL!) It fights. Perfectly. 90% of me knows that if I start restricting now -- or even allow myself to believe that it would be a good idea so that the coat would fit even better in two weeks -- that it would be the ed talking. And I don't need to listen. But a good 10% of me (maybe more?) is already making the case for why I NEED to do this. Because I don't need to gain a pound. Because the coat would look so much better if I lost the pre-holiday weight and then some. Not four days...more like 15. I'd like to say that I'm confident in knowing that I'll make the right decision. But it's hard doing that in the face of an imperfect body and a perfect winter coat. Ha ha.
