I have been shoving the issue into the back of my mind resulting in a gain back of 8, causing frequent back aches, returned acid reflux and just plain feeling crummy.Ī pretty visual reminder might be the trick! I think I need a little more, however, so I tweaked the idea a stone/jewel/bead for each 10th pound lost with a larger and special stone/jewel/bead for the goal. I had slowly lost 30 pounds last year (which even put my diabetes Type 2 into remission!) but somehow I just stopped being mindful of my habits. This looks very pretty and maybe it might help me to get back on track.

I already have four butts…I don’t need five! The sad thing is, I’m sure there are people out there who are crazy enough to carry one if it was actually available. ![]() That being said, I think I’ve finally found a handbag that I can honestly say I would never, ever, ever want:īefore y’all get crazy, this is obviously not a real handbag. □Ĭhanging the subject for a minute…y’all remember my confession that I’m a complete and total handbag ho, right?
