Ever. Ok, two weeks ago I went to the Goodwill (my favorite store) and bought jeans that were up a size from my usual because I was feeling bloated and just couldn't handle the restriction for another second. It was lovely, slightly depressing, but lovely. Then last week I went again and found a pair of Calvin Klein jeans which were size 8, a size I haven't worn in years, and they fit so perfectly that I wear them every day now. You just never know. But then yesterday I was wearing one of those t-shirts with the really short sleeves and realized that most of my weight seems to have settled in my upper arms. Blech! The worst part for me is that I have always been one of those annoying people who never has to try to lose weight, so now that I find myself in a position where I'd like to get rid of the extra flab, I don't really know how how.

Did anyone see the Miss USA pageant hosted by Donny and Marie Osmond the other night? The "swimsuit" competition was all contestants parading around in identical black bikinis, wearing identical black high heels, with their hair all done the same way. Even their bodies were identical! I think that The Osmonds would have been much more entertained with curvaceous women like us, parading around in all of our uniqueness! Please!
