or “I’m Spoiled and Getting Fat.”

Haha. The fact of the matter is I live a very comfortable life. I eat very good food. I drive everywhere and track down the best parking spots. However, I read a while ago that, “Comfort is not an option in living a fulfilling life.” I’m tempted to get it tattooed somewhere to remind me.

I make many moment-to-moment decisions of comfort and indulgence, and here I am, at least 20 pounds overweight. That’s embarrassing to say. However, I’m making the effort to embarrass myself…maybe someone will see this and call me out on my next excuse not to get off my butt or to eat fatty foods.

“My birth control makes me constantly hungry.”

“I may die and miss out on all this deliciousness.”

“I am beautiful just as I am.”

I AM beautiful, just as I am. But the fact of the matter is that my wedding dress is going to be giving me back cleavage if I don’t get it in gear. So, since I am just getting over being sick, I am starting with these teeny steps:

-taking my rambunctious puppy, IPA, jogging. Hopefully, I can tire us both out.

-going back to the climbing gym. If I can keep this up, I’ll get toned quickly in the areas where the dress is tightest.

-possibly getting a membership to the nearest 24 hour fitness.

I’m trying to resist the impulse to throw money at my problem by buying memberships I won’t be using, so we’ll see what works.
