The Shape Of Things, Today...




GOOD NEWS UPDATE:
  • As many already know, Ada received her glasses yesterday. She looks adorable - and is so pleased with her latest accessory. I will post pictures soon.
  • IT ACTUALLY FELT LIKE SPRING TODAY. (And it's a good thing too. I was about to go berserk.)
  • You haven't had a Corn Dog, until you've had a GRILLED corn dog.
  • Life is Good. My family is healthy. I am grateful!
BAD NEWS UPDATE:
  • Several times today my t-shirt rolled up over my belly. My t-shirt did not shrink. It's just that the bulge in my midsection no longer "sucks in". I've mostly been choosing not to address this growing problem...but I came home from the grocery store today to realize (thanks to my hubby) that the whole time my shirt cinched up in order to free my belly from it's tight surroundings. It was a little concerning to Sam.

  • Please don't misunderstand my husband's intentions...he has no other agenda except keeping my clothes on in public. Past experience has proved that he loves me no matter what size or in what psychological state I am. ( You know, this should be put first in the GOOD NEWS section.)

WHY IS THIS BAD NEWS?

The biggest problem is this. I have absolutely ZERO motivation. I want to be fit, slender, strong - all those things which keep your shirt from being squeezed out of it's place - I do! I'm just not feeling any desire to change my ways. Maybe I should just accept this and grow with it. After all, a little extra weight brings out my dimples. (The ones on my face, Wiseguy!)

Overall, the good seriously outweighs (no pun intended) the bad. So I can't really complain.

It's been a good day. I think I'll finish my root beer float now...

Oh Melissa - I indeed know how you feel:

I found that once I finally gave up and decided to "grow" with it was the point I finally started to lose weight. Irony is the bread and butter of my life.

Hang in there and enjoy your rootbeer floats!
