Today starts my 2-fold attempt to get some self-control over the out-of-control areas of my life: weight and money.
Ok, I'll say it: I'm 5'0 tall and weigh 127 lbs. According to online sites, I am obese. I know I don't look particularly terrible. But, in all honesty, I am a sausage in Spanx...sucked in and barely breathing. I am all boobs, belly, and butt. I had to buy a minimizer bra this weekend...because my new blouse was splitting between the buttons. I was shocked that as I wore my long cardigan, my ass rivaled...Oprah's. And my belly...well, like I said, if I'm not wearing Spanx, I'm wearing an XL top to cover it all up. So, we're starting a "Biggest Loser" contest at my work today. And I'm in it...wish me luck...

Ok, I'll say it: I make a really good salary...and should have more savings to show for it. I ride taxi's entirely too much. I buy lunch every day. I like to eat out...a lot. And, shopping is my rush. It used to be Target...its now Neiman Marcus. And Christmas time is the WORST...I like to buy presents. I should own a home. Instead, I own about 25 dresses...all new within the last year.
So, today starts a new chapter...a healthier and wealthier me. Exercising will be my friend. Food will be a costar, not a leading man. Alcohol will be for toasting only. My credit card will be put in storage. My savings account, ready for the automatic transfer. I'll walk to work, pack my lunch, pay only in cash, and...I'll be fine...in fact, better than fine...
...I'll be in control...
