Recovering

Feeling celebratory, I actually wore my size 16 jeans yesterday… well… for the first half of the day anyway. I thought the slight discomfort of the tightness would be a constant reminder of my mission. I had to pick up a few things at the store before the party got started. I didn’t figure on how I was going to drive with my size 16s. I wasn’t exaggerating when I said that I walk like C-3P0 in them. I had to move my seat back and recline it a bit. Quite a bit. I drove to the store in a horizontal position. I was hoping that people would think that I was just trying to be cool, but my car doesn’t really evoke that response. I managed.

The day was going great, my BBQ was a success. I made awesome grilled Portobello mushroom sandwiches that satisfied even the non-veggies. I think it was all the beer drinking that led me to unbutton my pants. Once I had done that, I couldn’t keep the zipper up. Where the heck did I get the idea that you could some how magically push down the zipper handle (or whatever you call it) and it would lock it in place? Seriously did I make that up?

Despite all the beer that I did drink, I wasn’t quite prepared to do a strip tease, so I busted out the elastic pants. Freedom! And enough room to indulge in Mrs. Smith’s apple pie and ice cream. In the spirit of cheat day I tried to have a big chocolate cookie with that, but just couldn’t.

Oy vay, when I think about what I ate it makes me want to take a shower! It will go down as my cheat day for two weeks! Today I’m recovering from the food bender I went on yesterday. I would rejoice if this were just a measly hangover, Corona has less fat.
