Death to Thin Brain

I was always a thin person. I have "thin brain" - as in, I don't THINK I look as bad as I actually do. The weight gain has been slow. I started thinking that I needed to lose a few pounds right after college, and added maybe three to five pounts a year, then seven or eight pounds a year, and then I'd level off, or drop a few, and then gain a few, until WHAMMO! I woke up one morning and went to the doctor and I'm at SERIOUS MAX DENSITY.

My "thin brain" got the best of me. It told me that I could be thinner anytime. I imagined what I looked like in high school and thought "That's the REAL me."

Thin Brain is The Enemy.

So I will change. I will destroy Thin Brain. I will trade her in for Thin Body, and then let Fat Brain take over, and remind me every day that I cannot just BE thin, I have to GET thin.

I will not go up a pant size. I will NOT BUY BIGGER CLOTHES.

I will eat, drink, and be merry for the next 11 days. And as soon as Memorial Day passes, I will, slowly, start becoming the body that I should be.
