...So, my dear Dawn, my cheer to myself for the week and the upcoming weekend is RESOLVE!!! I absolutely resolve to change my personal relationship with food. Despite the heat. Despite how much my thighs stick together. Despite that my breasts utterly stick to the top of my belly like fly paper and I literally have to peel them off because of the sweat.
All that I can tell you is that this heat makes me want to do nothing.... nothing, but sit still, drink frozen drinks and eat ice cream. Chocolate ice cream. No, make that chocolate sorbet. The less dairy in this heat, the better. And lime-flavored, sugar-laden cocktails... doesn't matter if they have a kicker or not. Yes, and then to pass out in this heat. THAT is what I really long to do.
I am still finishing my Masters- nothing makes me want to eat like the stress of education! And how it kills me to work all day and then have to walk to school and attend class in these sweaty, damp clothes (jeans or a long skirt, of course- one that covers my thighs and knees). For everyone to see me huff up the stairs, and believe me- I keep up with the best of them, even though I'm fat, or, I did until this heat hit us.
So, you see Dawn, my deepest, darkest longing to gorge myself with sorbet and cocktails is well-founded! I work hard, and anyone who works hard in this heat would want the same! Thin people do it all the time.... spend a day by the pool and stuff themselves silly with cool, refreshing cocktail drinks. The only problem is that I wouldn't just stop at one day, Dawn. One would become two, cocktails would become milkshakes, etc, etc, etc... all of this to say, we are using this blog to express our feelings, and this is how I feel! But, the difference this time is, I also feel like I have the RESOLVE to say no thank you to my old habits. No, not this time! I must say- the temperature is finally going down, and things for me seem to finally be looking up!!

i hear ya about the heat, where i live in the summer we have lots of 100 + days. for a drink to cool ya off try a fruit soomthie (home made) with fresh fruits, oj, and ice simple clean and refreshing.
Nice ice cold water is yummy!! : ) Though I can see where the thought of an ice cold margarita by the pool/beach sounds good! (of course I did just drop my girlfriend and her husband off at the airport for a week in Mexico so it could be that too...hehehehe) That's ok I just remind myself next year I will go with them and I will be able to wear a bikini!!
