Everyone always says its the little things and there are a
1000 profound quotes on it. But let me tell you when you have been in love with
someone since you were 18, and have raised 2 kids; Let me tell you its
the little things, you know when you are right. Remember that pesky scale, lets
just say it no longer has a home here in our household AND my loving husband
had to say I was right. Of course it was all good natured and we now trade
jokes wether a new one will make the other one weigh more but I was right the
old one was in fact broken!
I really don’t need a scale that works to tell me I am not
completely happy with my body. There are so many reasons why but at the top of
the list is the extra spare tire that seems to have taken residence around my
middle. I am pretty creative with clothes to keep it hidden. But it is there.
When I am in the shower, dancing around trying to decide what to wear because I
don’t like any of my clothes because of this new body shape. I could blame my
age, hormones, fact is I am lazy and don’t exercise like I should. All of these
are partly to blame. So is allowing myself to binge eat in middle of night and
grab a Dr. Pepper instead of climbing into bed at a reasonable time and
spending quality time with the man who loves me and accepts my spare tire and
all. I think I know how to burn some extra calories. No matter what size you
are, loving who you are is the most stylish thing of all.
