Dating Myself: Day 12

Day 12 was a 'fat day' for me. We all have them; they are normal unless you let them control your life.


We as Western hemisphere inhabitants are so harsh on ourselves sometimes. Everywhere you look, you are being told "How to lose 10 lbs in 10 minutes", "Ways to look skinnier" and there are tons of Ads promoting some weight loss miracle pill.

Although it is obvious that being overweight does cause health issues, there is a slightly skewed perception.

I once read in an article where Katie Perry was quoted saying, " I can't look at somebody who is 6 ft tall/120lbs and say, I'm going to get that body. You have to work with what you got."

Don't pretend you haven't gained some pounds, or that you are a size 3 when you really would fit better in a size 8. Forget about the numbers on the tags and think about fit. Wear clothes that look good on your body and you will radiate confidence.

If all else fails, a good purse and pair of earrings always fits well.
