Probably watching The Notebook was a bad idea. I'm...
I’m going to be so much fun at the bar later.

Fat and Easy?
I love cooking. I can cook dinner for 30 people and I can (well, I’m learning) to cook for one. I love starting with disparate parts and sitting down to something I created. I love feeding people, and I love eating delicious things.
This, needless to say, makes me sad.

I want to feel like this everyday.
Today, for reasons I don’t fully understand, I can see which thoughts are based on insecurity and just dismiss them.
It’s delightful.
I hope this doesn’t mean I can’t wear leggings anymore.
Steps for having a good day:

Stop complaining.
Go to the gym.
Spend time with a good friend.
Additional options include:
cooking dinner
wearing a new dress
making yourself laugh.
Today was a good day.
So there’s always that.

the gym and 40 blissful elliptical minutes during which my back didn’t hurt at all

Hilariously (infuriatingly?), this doesn’t stop me from thinking if I was thinner I’d have a boyfriend.
It’s nice to know I’m capable of berating myself on such an epic level though.

I love a good romantic comedy.
But seriously, that shit is not helping anyone.
You know the long montages set to bad music? That’s life. Those moments when someone kisses you in the street, those are the exception. The lovely, fantastic, sparkly exceptions. Remember them, hang on to them, but know that they aren’t everyday.
I have a feeling life is more about using the good moments to help float through the...
