Dear Angela,
Thank god you put crash-dieting behind you. If given a choice between being skinny or tasting food I hope I would always select the second. This doesn't mean I don't ever have what I think of as skinny daydreams...
They go something like this for me, "If I had my skinny body back again I could walk into J.Crew, try on anything and look fantastic..." I don't have the bikini body fantasies or a desire to be rail thin to "get a guy" but clothing is an incredible influence for me.
Because once you gain weight clothes shopping becomes increasingly complicated. You are always trying to figure out: Okay, does this dress come in my size? And then, Does it work with my body type, or when I wear it will I end up looking like an elephant? I should also mention: there are many stores that are only interested in carrying clothing for the cute, petite girls of the world- forget it if you are a girl who is friendly with cupcakes and doesn't live on a treadmill.
But in my skinny dreams none of this matters and I can wear anything I want to. I can leave my house every day looking radiant and oh so très chic. This would be:

Except I would probably change out the heels.
Until next time,
Rachel
