Daily Thoughts

Like so many people who have gained weight over the years, I have three wardrobes in my closet. I have clothes in sizes 7-8, 9-10, and my current 11-12. Don’t ask me why I haven’t thrown them out. Wishful thinking I guess. The problem now is that even the 11-12’s are starting to get tight, and I don’t have any decent winter clothes in anything larger than a 9-10.

It’s depressing when I remember that when I first moved to Florida in 1996, I weighed 117 lbs., and was a small size 7. I don’t necessarily want to be that skinny again, because to be honest, at my age, skinny looks more sickly than sexy.

I just want to get back to my size 9’s. Sound easy? NOT! The last time I was in a size 9, I weighed 130, which is 20 lbs. less than I weigh now. 20 lbs. may not sound like a lot, but considering that I’m over 50, and have medical problems, losing that 20 lbs. may not be so easy.

I’ve considered seriously doing the Master Cleanse, and I still might. I’d like to take 10 lbs. off quickly, then change to a raw food diet to lose the rest.

Of course, this means that treadmill in my living room needs to be something more than something to hang stuff on. I started walking with an older neighbor, but to be honest, she walks so slowly, that it hasn’t done much other than whittle down my saddlebags a little. I’ve lost no weight at all, and don’t even feel any stronger.

So I need to get serious about this. I’m tired of having two of things like bellies and chins. Rolls are nasty.

Wish me luck. I’m starting tomorrow.
