Things are getting tough for people. I don’t think any of us had a true sense of what this would mean, and how long a year would feel. There’s something about buying your own clothes that just means Adulthood to me. Waiting to be able buy something, hoping you’ll get a good gift, feeling deprived in the clothes department — this is EXACTLY what being a teenager felt like to me.
So here we are — all in the same boat – -having rendered ourselves powerless in one of the major arenas in which adult women display their power. How do we endure this — especially during holiday season?
I don’t have any answers. But I do know that I now feel extremely proud of myself for staying fast to this diet. It’s no piece of cake!!

I feel pathetic and proud all at the same time. This past weekend I went to a party wearing a shirt I bought five years ago. It’s a fabulous shirt and everytime I wear it I get compliments. But I don’t care what anyone says…I feel frumpy in it because it is old. It’s a mind set thing isn’t it. I can’t wait to be an adult again and buy myself some new duds.
It is an adult feeling to spend your money on what you like, when you like. That is part of the deprived feeling I have, too. I like your blog today because it articulates what I feel so well.
