“‘Tis the season to not lose weight…”
It’s that friggin’ chow down time of year of the triple threat holidays — Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. I picked the worst time of year to get hot…
As you can see from my first page, Countdown to a Hotter 30, I’ve been working hard steady at trying to slim down before I hit the big 3-0. I don’t know why I’m making turning 30 such a big deal. I guess as a child I always saw this age as a marker of how your life has been going so far. And I guess I also saw 30 as a finalization of things that came before. And possibly as a point of my life that determines a little of my future. As you can see, I’m a bit torn. But one thing is for sure, though I’m not one to look in the mirror and say I’m not attractive, I told myself a month or so ago that I need to drop some poundage before January 27, my birthday.
So far things have been steady, as I’ve said. I’ve lost a few inches and have been fluctuating a few pounds which is supposedly normal, as I’ve been told by my doctor. Not sure I agree. But I’ve noticed some of my clothing is fitting a tad more loose. I say a tad…
Part of this whole experience is not only the pound shedding I crave, but getting to a more natural acceptance of myself. I’ve gone back to my natural eye color. I’m growing out my locks. I’m learning to get over being a perpetually single female in a region that coupledom is “king.” I’m learning not to settle. I’m just trying to get comfy in a new skin that will be my next decade of trying and hopefully good times.
So here is the final few months’ posts from this saga experiment journey.
