I came to the realization a few pounds ago, that if I dressed well, regardless of my weight I would feel better. I don't buy clothes anymore that are lesser quality because of hoping not to wear them. If I dress well, then I found I do feel better than if I bought "cheap" clothes because I hope to not wear them. I admit that I am not as svelte as I would like to be - far from it- but, I still have to treat myself well, dress to be the best I can be, whoever and whatever I am. I am resigned not to weigh what I weigh, but, I still want to feel good about me.
