I make and sometimes break New Years resolutions...so

Okay, moving right along here. Went out and bought yet another bathing suit today. I have several in increasing sizes in a bottom drawer so this isn't a new idea. What is new I just put the suit, a towel, the never worn years old thongs, and soap into a duffle bag. That's never happened before. Chatting with the delightful clerk about my yearly bathing suit purchase and how I never actually get to the pool she said something about it being hard sometimes to make the effort in winter driving conditions. I could have kept my big mouth shut but no, I admitted I live 2 blocks from the pool. She has a wonderful laugh :)

Finally got the skinny on dieting. From Margaret Trudeau.

It seems like there are so many people ready to give you an answer to your every dilemma these days. It comes so easy. I know I do it all the time. "I have a problem with..." "Oh, you should..."  Take this herb, do this exercise, buy this product, go to this place, therapist, mechanic.

 SSSSSSo, I'm a life long dieter and I was listening to Margaret Trudeau being interviewed about mental illness. It was a great interview. But what I heard loudest and clearest was a tidbit in the middle of some really deep and meaningful stuff.

She said, about controlling her weight, "oh, I just remind myself I'd rather be slim than eat that."
