I'm pretty open and honest on my blog, probably more than I should be. But it's a great place to vent, and to talk through issues, so gosh darnit, I'm doing it again.
I put on a pair of jeans today that I have not worn for about six months. Wait, let me amend that... I attempted to put on that pair of jeans. They would not button. Well, they would, but not without some squirming and acrobatics on my part.
WTF? I am careful careful CAREFUL about what I eat. I've been running- no not everyday, but working out at least 3 days a week. There's been the odd splurge meal here and there. Maybe there's just been too many splurges, what with Labor day, Rosh Hashanah, birthdays, family dinners.
These aren't the only pair of pants to feel tight lately. And it's bugging me. I know, I know: don't complain, do something about it. Problem is, though I eat very healthfully, I enjoy eating. I just don't know what else to do short of cutting out every single carb and fat from my diet. And alcohol (boo, what's life without a glass of wine?) Maybe this new girth is a direct result of the booze. Whatever it is, I don't like it, and right now I don't like myself very much either.

Yeah, been there, done that, own the too tight t-shirt. I am sorry. I wish I had advice, but just want you to know I relate.
But now you have Yom Kippur! It's like not even trying!
I-66: you may have missed the point on this one.
This is EXACTLY how I feel right now. I've also been eating better and exercising... and nothing. I definitely blame the booze. (But I'm not willing to give it up either...)
You gotta exercise to start getting that weight off. That or simply accept that you're going to get thicker and be okay with it. Some guys dig chicks with more curves...
Brian, can you read? Look, I don't know Brett and I sure ain't her defender, but the girl works out. She isn't thick. Christ.
Jeez Brian- FYI I wear the smallest size jeans. (Usually.) "Start getting that weight off?" More like drink more water and avoid the booze. I didn't post this seeking weight loss advice. That's not what it's about- it's about self-confidence and not feeling comfortable in my own skin.
