DAY 244: Ranty pants

Giving yourself congratulations totally equals bragging. And I think it's OK to feel irritated. You haven't DONE anything awful, you've just acknowledged your negative reaction. And I encourage you to check out consignment and thrift shops for your shopping. Take in your too-big clothes, walk out with cute new clothes. If you're ever in Iowa City, girl I will take you SHOPPING. (Even Chicago, if you give me notice. Maybe even Austin, where my daughter-in-law showed me around & helped me shop.)

Thank you for your sympathy. I think if I wasn't in the middle of trying to pull myself out of a rut, I might not be so negative about my friend's attempt to lose weight. Maybe in a little while when I'm totally back i the saddle, I'll be a better friend. For now, I'll just whine about her behind her back to a bunch of people who don't know her. ;-) Don't be surprised if I take you up on a shopping date in one of those places if I ever find myself there! :)
