Spring, to quote someone or other, .is a
"Time for Rebirth" Beautiful thought
isn't it? I fell for that romantic line and
decided to rejuvenate myself and join the
beautiful people this summer.
Actually, I started on a small scale just
after Christmas when I accidentally viewed
myself in the bathroom mirror after taking
a bath. Twenty-five extra pounds cannot be
tucked. pulled in or ignored when you're
standing 'la natural'.
"Hopeless" 1 thought, but still chose to
continue on my merry fat way until one day
my husband offered me some rather
unfunny jokes about the kind of bathing
suit I would have to buy. (I'll spare you his
remarks as even the punch lines were
• lousy.)
He then graciously suggested we go on a
diet together. That was some idea, he lost
six pounds the first week, and I lost one.
He has long since given up the diet and
looks disgustingly trim but I casually quote
one of Ghandi's deadly sins "Success
without Effort".
1 must admit, it isn't only for self
improvement, it's for a fifty dollar bathing
suit. You see, I signed a contract with my
husband claiming he would pay for a
particular swim suit if I reached a certain
weight by June 1st. You're probably
thinking he doesn't trust me on, my word
alone. He doesn't, and I don't even use his
toothbrush. He seems to think I welsh out
of things, or twist words around or some
such thing.
I have changed my daily pattern to
accommodate my commitments and black
coffee isn't too bad if you don't serve it in a
brown cup. Throwing dried parsley freely
over your salad gives an. illusion of maybe
there's something. interesting underneath.
I'm going to succeed for two reasons.
first, my suspicious husband's contract and
second. that beautiful suit that is perhaps a
little too daring but the kids don't come
with us anyway.
When 1 win. my husband wilt also have
to provide me with an attractive sun hat
and a bottle of Olay. Because of the diet,
my once plump pleasant face is taking on
the lines of an auto route and after all I've
got legal proof this time. He's the -one who
wanted it in writing!
