As if the content of Bill 115, newspaper headlines and the vitamin D-less weekend weather were not depressing enough, I took myself swimsuit shopping! There is nothing forgiving or heartwarming about this demoralizing activity!
A few hours, and a two-dozen tankinis, bikinis and in-betweenies later, I gave up searching for what I needed, and went looking for what I wanted - a red dress!
Big mistake!
I have always oscillated between sizes 6 and 8. But, yesterday, to my surprise, I had to struggle with size 10 garments. Naturally, I didn’t embrace the truth by buying a size 12 dress; however by packing up all the clothes that the dry cleaners have shrunk over the years, I accepted that I shall never be half the woman I am today! I also accepted that I only have enough willpower to go cold turkey (literally) long enough to squeeze myself between an 8 and a 10, soon - hopefully.
Bill 115 might have snatched away my pricey, glossy copies of Vanity Fair, but not my vanity. I remain profoundly superficial - accepted and filed!
What have you accepted and filed today?
