The last post in which I ever mention weight (well, this week)

About two years ago, I passed a couple that appeared to be praying over slices of pizza. Mid-day, on the street in Pasadena, it caught me off-guard, and I wrote a post gently mocking what I imagined they might be thinking.

Now, it turns out that I might not have been so far off the mark.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my post on Sunday with helpful suggestions and genuine support. It was a long-winded rant that really could have been summarized quite simply: Aging. Freaking. Sucks.

I think most women have issues with their weight at one time or another, and I am no exception. I am also not much of a wallower, so today at lunch I bought two new bathing suits that are so adorable and flattering I absolutely can not wait to wear them. Quick - someone invite me to a pool party before I change my mind!
