Leeda: Running in a Fat Suit

As I’ve said before, I will only buy clothes from the consignment shop until I reach a size 8/10 again. Today, I was just browsing and saw a really nice pair of size 14 jeans. My one pair of size 16 jeans were getting loose, so I bought the 14s. I already had a pair of 14s, but they were high waisted and that’s where I have the most bulge, as it were. These new ones were low rise and fit like a dream. I was very happy. I tried on a another pair of size 14s that I could barely pull all the way up back in March and I was able to button them, though they were a little snug, but I was surprised I was able to get them on at all. So yay! I hope I am back in those size 10s soon. I am packing away the size 16s tonight.

Hurry up and get here already! I am crabby, bloated, and craving tons of chocolate. DH and I had  a fight yesterday and I rushed straight for the subway to get 3 chocolate chip cookies. Surprisingly, I only ate 2 of them, but in the old days (what, 3 months ago?) I would’ve eaten them all plus a footlong sub. Emotional eating, thy name is LeedaRenee. Anyway, they didn’t even taste as good and I’m not perfect, but that is something that I want to avoid next time. Here are a list of things I can do next time instead of eating when I get upset:

1. read a book

2. play a video game

3. Drink a cup of tea

4. Eat a bunch of veggies

I started off the day with a 30 minute walk in the park, I wanted to go longer, but the baby starting getting upset. He’s got this new thing where he kind of says “Mama” but he whines it like “MaaaaaaMaaaaa” I swear he did that the whole walk. I am about to do Y!F for 30 minutes and then some yard work. And definitely some housework!
