A strategy of dubious merit

[miss_pryss]

So I'm trying to lose a little weight -- nothing extreme, I just want to get back where I was this time last year. ~10 lbs or so.

In the interests of encouraging this process, I went shopping last week and bought a bunch of blouses in a slightly-too-small size. Now I'll HAVE to loose the weight, right? So the buttons on my cute new shirts don't pop?

...We'll see if this works.

Gah! Back fat is the worst. *hates on back fat* *wishes you luck*

*psst*

you know what's worse than backfat?

KNEEFAT.

How did my KNEES get fat?! The knees are, like, 90% of the reason I'm on this diet right now.

I suspect that it's a combination of the fat itself and the fact that every year as we get further from being teenagers, our skin gets ever-so-slightly worse at holding the fat together in a smooth, aesthetically pleasing subcutaneous layer. Yay wisdom and aging!

*stupid knees*

*plots revenge on knees*

*also plots revenge on the march of time*

In happy news, I have just purchased a proper sports bra so I can huff away on the treadmill without incurring serious discomfort in my chestal area.
