If we’re being honest, I’m well above my desired weight. My summer clothes either don’t fit at all or accentuate some rather unflattering lumps and bumps. With autumn weather beginning to settle in, I can start bringing out the long sleeve dresses with pockets — and forgiving flow! I can layer on scarves to draw attention away from my neck. Pants feel comfortable again, especially since the shorts are just too tight and too revealing for my sensibilities these days. Of course I do aim to be healthy, but I’m so grateful for the sort of weather that reduces my body image issues!
