Day 22 Get Ready, Starch, Go!

There is always a slight calm...after the storm. Yesterday, I slithered into a pair of jeans...a pair which has denied me access for almost 8 months...and yet, yesterday I won. I won! I won! Today, due to excessive exhaustion and my dear friend heading back to NYC...and a steady stream of still unanswered questions...I ate a little more starch than usual. I had a large bagel and a full packet of cream cheese and one pumpkin pancake at brunch...I had two breadsticks and roasted potatoes during the dinner time...then three pieces of chocolate and a bit of vino...ah yes, food soothes the soul and makes up for all the drama endured during the day. Tomorrow is a fresh start...always a fresh start...I shall scoop up my emotions and pack them carefully away in a drawer, "gird up my loins" as it were...and start over. By the way, those slithery jeans still fit!
