The Chronic Consumer

Even though I haven’t worked outside the home in more than three years, I like to keep a couple of nice business suits on hand just in case I need to meet with prospective clients for my freelancing biz or go on a job interview.

Anyway, as I was straightening out my closet this morning, I noticed my business suits for the first time in ages and decided to try them on. Imagine my horror when I realized that they no longer fit! I couldn’t get the pants to zip up all the way on either pair, and since the jackets are tailored, there’s no way to hide the fact that my pants aren’t fastened.

I guess I have two choices here. One, I can either go out and spend several hundred dollars on new business suits that I might or might not wear in the next year. Or two, I can crank up the intensity of my workouts, cut out all junk food, and buy some weight loss pills in an effort to slim down enough to fit back into my clothes.

Hmm, I’ll probably go with the second option for a few months to see if that helps.
