OK. Just came back from Nordstrom. I had to get some nice underthings for a black dress I am wearing to the Humane Society Auction. The rules say we can shop for underwear, so here is what I bought: One fantastic Wacoal black bra, one “Commando” (yes, that is the name) black slip, and some hosiery. However, when I was in hosiery I might have crossed a Great American Apparel diet line. I had to have these capri things that go under your dress, I consider them hosiery. And…they were in that department. Plus they go under so I can even safely say under thing. I loved shopping today. I went with my friend Anna. I do not understand people who hate shopping. I find myself wondering, what happened to these people? Did they go shopping with someone really mean when they were kids? Was there a cruel sales person in their past? Anyway, very hard to give up shopping, I am grateful to have the room for underwear, shoes and accessories. Also, I haven’t had sugar or honey or maple syrup or anything in over a week, so today was my reward for being so sugar free.
Beauty Alert! has been blogged about in Teen Vogue. I love it. Let me see if I can get a link going here http://www.teenvogue.com/beauty/blogs/beauty/2010/01/dont-spoil-your-beauty-routine.html
Did it work? I hope so. No new cheating extravaganzas for me. I am holding steady. I do want to quit eating so much chocolate and other naughty things….
OK, I go through all the trouble to cheat on this diet, all the angst and guilt, and I get the coat and the buttons fall off. Man. What is it with new clothes? These companies can’t do a decent job of sewing on buttons? Does this happen to other people? Maybe I am being punished for cheating. I got a Via Spiga faux shearling coat at Bluefly.com. It is made out of god knows what, but I do love the way it looks. Or at least I did before the buttons fell off. I have worn it maybe five times, so what is the story? OK, there is my rant. I have cheated on this diet three times. And my “no sugar” is not going so well, either. Ever since I got my braces off I cannot stop eating. Help me.
