I’ve lost enough weight now that a lot of my clothes don’t fit, and I have to put on several things every morning to find something that fits and goes together. I wouldn’t care so much, except it adds time in the mornings I don’t really budget for. That’s right. I’m a last-minute waker-upper.

I get up at 7:30 a.m. to leave at 8 a.m. to be at work by 8:30 a.m. Out of bed, make coffee, bathroom, brush teeth, take shower, get dressed, pour coffee, dry hair, drink coffee, pack bag, leave the house. All of this can be accomplished in just under 30 minutes unless “get dressed” includes searching for pants I have kept since 2002 in hopes I could wear them again. Or trying on three gray skirts to find one that will stay up on my waist.

Complaining about being thin never wins you friends, though. So I’ll just shut up and continue wearing things that make me look droopy and sluggish.
