Sorry you feel pudgy. I hate those days.

Wear something that looks great (right color, right cut). Do you hair, wear lipstick and do not drink or eat anything salty. Plan a long workout tomorrow.

How much do you weigh? How tall are you?

Just remember absolutely nobody cares even close to the amount you do. So you can pick whether you put more mental energy into this or something else.

I lost 10 lb in the spring.
I *kept it off* all summer! The same weigh-ins, still hanging in there.

But a schedule change caused me to drop exercise during the summer. I’m still SO active in my regular old life. A random hike wouldn’t be out of the question. Sweating hard during a home project this summer is frequent.

So I feel pudgier, probably my weight maintenance is muscle loss, lack of formal exercise.

All good, because I am headed into a new period of exercise again! I should get right back on track.

This week I sort of went off the rails on eating.

I have an event tonight and feel bleh. Fitting in my clothes, bleh.

Any advice? I’m not asking to lose my tummy in one hour. Just.. looking for a little love, commiseration, dressing while feeling pudgy advice.
