I felt so awful about myself that it actually made it worse. When the baby was about 10 months old, my mother herded me to the store and forced me into some new clothes and it was transformative! It was then that I decided that I needed to dress the body I have, not the one I want.<BR/>That doesn't mean that I don't get undressed in the closet and avoid mirrors if at all possible, but at least I don't spend the day tugging and pulling at ill-fitting clothes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2690271413637754639.post-44719998252486735612008-12-23T12:27:00.000-05:002008-12-23T12:27:00.000-05:00Just wanted to let you know that I've been on "vac...Just wanted to let you know that I've been on "vacation" for exactly two days and already found myself in tears while cleaning the kitchen. What's the point? No matter how hard I scrub, the little once-silver things on the stove won't come completely clean and next week I'll be doing it all over again anyway.<BR/><BR/>There is no way that I will finish my list before people come over Christmas Eve. I haven't finished shopping, and I don't even know what I'm going to buy or where to look. And the day after Christmas we will drive 12 hours to Georgia where I will spend the remainder of my "vacation" visiting with others when all I really want is 1 hour to myself...and a clean house. When do I get to go back to school?<BR/><BR/>Anyway...I was hoping your blog (which I haven't had time to read since your initial email) would make me feel happier...or at least less alone. And it did. :) Perhaps I will read it again during Spring Break.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
