Have any of you watched Kirstie Ally’s new show? I love the show and her. Beautiful and hilarious fat or thin.  The tabloids were so vicious about her weight gain.  Sexist!! They never get on James Gandolphinis’ case or any big actor.  John Travolta is a good 70 lbs heavier now that he’s in his 50′s like Kirstie but no  pictures ridiculing him in Star magazine.  OK end of that rant!

Had an unpleasant incident involving a pair of capri jeans in a dressing room at Target yesterday.   I had to pause and practice what I was preaching in that last body size issue blog I did.   Along the lines of “you are not the sum total of your butt size”  Actually I am an “apple” and its my midsection, not my derriere. Sigh.  I didn’t say it was easy everyday.

I am actively trying to shed at least 20 lbs. as I have high blood pressure and my blood sugar is inching upwards.  I threw out any junk in the house and am committed to eating more unproccessed food.  Cutting junk carbs usually helps me.  And I am walking as about the only form of exercize my back tolerates.  No, hunched over my new notebook lapbook doesn’t qualify or I’d look like Audry Hepburn.

Still organizing my personal closet and dressing room and trying to dress more vintage.  Wearing all the cool jewelry I have and  wearing more dresses and skirts.  Thats me- overdressed for every occasion but I like it.  Like to look like a lady even though I’m no priss.  I’ve also been using some of the totally cool handbags I have collected.  Rick is in the process of putting a new chain handle on a leather and real zebra hide 50′s bag I have that was made in Paris.  Can’t get THAT at Walmart!
