“Nothing is so strong as gentleness, and nothing so gentle as real strength.”
~ Sitting Bull
My reflection doesn’t look nearly as fat as I feel these days. I think me and Weight Watchers are gonna date again. Get a few pounds off now so I can put them back on for the holidays then take them off again for spring. I can’t let my gallbladder die in vain, can I? I owe it to that once proud and noble body part that so selflessly sacrificed its life so that I could see bones I didn’t know I had while standing naked in the shower; so that a size 10 would be so big another lost pound would have me buying an 8 (something unheard of since age 14); so that my thighs were no longer rubbing together like flint sparking a fire. No, I must honor my valiant gallbladder and stay slim…ish. I’ll start by eating all the ice cream in the house and swear never to bring it in again. Right after I finish off the BBQ chips, and these little cake things.
