Labor Day weekend and lots of time on my hands

I can't believe Labor Day is here. Where has the year gone? Holiday weekends are a hard time for me to stay focused on eating right. I want to go to the movies, go out to dinner, see friends, relax on the couch and get caught up on my t.v. shows. All of these things seem to lead to one thing: overeating!

There is an old custom that says that you shouldn't wear white, linen or sandals after Labor Day so this weekend I am going to go through my clothes and put up some for the season. Regarding white, I don't really have much white except for a few tops and some sandals. Putting up white pants aren't a problem because, hello, I'm fat so I don't wear white pants. I don't need my clothes to make me look bigger, show my cellulite through my them or let you see my granny panties in all their glory. I do have lots of linen and sandals but since I live in Texas some of these rules just aren't reasonable. I'm still going to wear my sandals although I'm debating whether or not I'll still wear the white ones.

Anyway, one thing I want is that after I put up my summer clothes I hope I never fit into them again. I don't really have very many clothes that fit so I wear the same outfits over and over. Nothing would please me more than never seeing these clothes again! I would love if next year as the spring/summer season rolls around I have to buy all new clothes because the ones that I have just fall off of me. I dream of a time when I can just walk into a store, look at the rack, try something on and it fits. I can't imagine what it would be like to try on clothing without an anxiety attack followed by anger and usually tears.

I'm hoping that with lots of time on my hands this weekend I will be productive and not overeat. It will be challenge but I think I can do it.

Happy Friday,
