When Is It Time to Go on a Diet?

When do you know it’s time to go on a diet—when your bloomers become bikini or thongs? When they call out the winning lottery numbers, do you feel like they are announcing your measurements? Are you looking for the fountain of average size instead of the fountain of youth? When you turn the clock back in November, do you also turn the scale back a little? Women, do you consider putting on a sports bra an extreme sport? All these mean it’s time to go on a diet. While men cover this up by wearing wider ties and growing beards, a woman can only buy a larger size and cut out the tags and pray no one notices. Just remember, you’re not alone in this life-long battle, and I am here for moral support. Remember, “diet” also spells “edit,” not “punishment.” Most of all, remember you’re a beautiful person.
