We as women are all familiar with "fat days."
Times when our regular jeans are suddenly uncomfortably tight - the t-shirt is just a little bit more snug - even our toes need to be jammed into our shoes.
Especially as women with menstrual cycles, this becomes a disquieting and monthly occurrence for the majority of our lives.
Today I unexpectedly had a "skinny" day.
Now, my uterus left me about six years ago, so I can't blame it either way.
I hadn't changed anything I ate or drank today.
I certainly haven't been losing weight, although my goal of being my college-weight has remained firmly attached to my bathroom cabinet for years... as well as the feeling of frustration and failure as I continue to lug around the extra 45 lbs. right around my middle.
But today as I got ready for church, I actually felt like my clothes were loose.
As I walked across the parking lot to enter our chapel, I felt light on my feet.
When I settled down in my regular pew, there wasn't the regular feeling of sheer extra mass oozing around me.
And as I put on my regular everyday go-feed-the-horses-and-prepare-to-be-covered-with-hay-hair-and-humidity jeans, they felt unrestricted and almost slack.
Okay, people, how can I put this into a bottle and market it?
