Talk to the Pants


Don’t look at me, my pants have grown!

I will be the first to admit that I have not been very good at staying focused on eating healthy these last few days.  I’ve had a few homemade cookies, about 1/3 of a homemade lemon meringue pie and a whole 8 oz. Toblerone.  I’m not going to beat myself up over it.  I enjoyed every single bite.

I continue to work on eating healthier.  I eat more vegetables at dinner.  I actually eat breakfast and lunch so I don’t snack the day away.  I eat more dried fruit, fresh fruit and vegetables than junk food.  I am back to my no calorie, 80% dark chocolate.  I’m drinking water instead of soda or juices.  I know that it is not much, but I am starting to notice a difference.

I was grocery shopping with my mother Saturday and got a surprise.  My pants were driving me crazy.  I had to keep pulling them up and adjusting my waist band.  I was standing in the checkout line before it dawned on me what I was doing.  I was pulling up my pants!  It is not a huge thing, maybe an inch around the middle, but I couldn’t stop smiling all the rest of the day.  I have been pulling my waist band out regularly to make sure I am not imagining things.  I’m not!

Small actions can bring about great changes.  Have a great Wednesday!
