Life is good... and I'm sorta starting to feel it in my clothes

Life is good...

The book's getting great reviews, sales are coming in nicely, I'm working on my next novel, my kids are great, the weather's been gorgeous, and my boyfriend and I couldn't be better.

I've always heard that when you're happy, you get fat. That just might be the case. I'm just sayin...the clothes are a little snug these days. Not sure if my metabolism's changing or I'm just slacking a little bit on my diet/excercise regime, or maybe I'm just so engrossed in all the fun, exciting things going on that I'm neglecting to realize I'm overeating. Whatever the case, I'm not too thrilled (and neither would you be.)

On the other hand, in the dark days, (a few years ago) when I was miserable and depressed all the time, I was really skinny. So, given the choice, I'd rather be pudgy and happy, than tiny and perpetually gloomy.

BUT, that being said, I will not cave and accept my 5 pound gain! I will overcome! I will persevere! And I will work out harder and stop eating trail mix and Hot Tamales!

If you have any suggestions to help me shed the recent elbs, please feel free to post! In the meantime, I continue to feel grateful and happy for everything I have in my life, most importantly, my health and the health of my kids. Trust me, I've got things in perspective.

The low carb, sugar free blitz starts today! Bu-bye love handles, bu-bye muffin top!

Hmm that's interesting because for me it is just the opposite. I tend to eat more when I am unhappy and loose weight when I am happy (or is that - happy when I loose weight???)
Anyway... I have lost 20 lbs!!! in the past few months, and I am very happy! LOL
