That is both sad and hilarious at the same time. I saw a woman in the pharmacy yesterday, when I went to pick up some RX's. She was just the same size as the obese woman in that cartoon, and she sat there and ate a whole bag of corn chips while we waited. It was the large sized bag.....:-/ She probably wonders why she weighs 400lbs. and can barely walk.
I hope your dress shopping venture was successful. I LOATHE dress shopping. The waists on dresses never ever ever fit right on me. I also have very broad shoulders so the tops of sleeves aren't comfortable, either. My church clothes consist of skirts, sweaters, and knit tops. And I only wear pantyhose when I absolutely HAVE to. Otherwise, it's either jeans and t-shirts or my comfy old sleep shirts and bathrobe, ha!
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by. And that has made all the difference."
"I never travel without my diary. One should have something sensational to read on the train."
And then I was born.
"Our lives are so important to us that we tend to think the story begins with our birth. Yet that is not so. We are the continuation of someone else's story."
"This memoir is how I remember my own life. If you were there, you might recall something differently. It's OK. Your version can be written in your memoir."
"The research for what you are writing is your whole life—I mean, there is one world expert on it: you. For what you are writing there is no other authority."
"I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I have ended up where I intended to be."
"Like all great travelers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen."

"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some of them may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience."
