Just when I was feeling pretty good about this whole weight loss thing.... People Magazine puts 60 year old Christie Brinkley on the cover. She looks almost the same as she did when she was on the cover of Sports Illustrated in 1979. So what do I do? Took my 207lb self to Macy's to try on dresses for the various weddings and travels this Spring and Summer. I have never looked like Christie Brinkley, but as I looked at my legs and thighes in 3 way mirror I KNOW that I never will. On top of everything else, the Women's Dept keeps sneaking things in. I can wear a 14W but in regular misses department I am a 16 or 18 and as you all know, it is tough to find stuff in those sizes. Plus so many dresses are sleeveless. My arms are not ready for that. Then there are my knees. But as I stood there I realized that I can't beat myself up for stuff like this. No, I won't be wearing a bathing suit this year, but I can wear floor length dresses to a couple of those events. I will find dresses with sleeves or find little sweaters to wear. I weigh over 100 lb less than I did 6 months ago!!!!!!!
