Spring Changes Everything

Dear Angela,

Spring is here... and with it my mood has improved 100%. I don't know what it is about the sunshine but now I find myself wanting to be outdoors as much as possible. I am not planning on dramatic weight lose to follow YET because my eating habits have not exactly been stellar. I will spare you the details of what foods have been making their way into my body. You don't need that horror. Not right not anyway. HOWEVER, if I keep making it a habit to stay outdoors, if I do get back to making healthier eating choices and resisting old habits... then you might find me wearing this shimmering black number around town sometime soon:


Dress Source

Or not.

Maybe I'll be the girl wearing a cute swim cover up at the pool, or the girl trying out a new flavor of fresh Raspberry ice cream, or the girl pulling on her work dress pants and asking herself, "Wait, are these pants somehow more snug than usual?" God, I hope not!

The only thing I can say is: I am going to keep trying. What a boring, predictable thing to say, I know. But for now it is where I am. I know I have a long way to go.

I have also been collecting links to share. If you are interested continue reading. This is just from my random surfing around the web.

The Shape of a Mother. A website with the goal of showing a woman's post-pregnancy body. Our bodies often change dramatically after having a baby. Meaning, don't bother having a baby. Just kidding!

New Israeli Law Bans Underweight Models In Ads, Undisclosed Airbrushing. Will this be a new trend elsewhere?

Colleagues Who Can Make You Fat. All about the extra calories associated with work life. Damn that coworker who brings in that pan of brownies. Or the one with that amazing recipe for lasagna.

Also, work related: How to Bring Your Lunch to Work: A Guide. I should probably take careful notes from this article. I appreciate Step 8.

Until next time,
Rachel
