A Cautionary Dressing Room Tale

I spent the weekend visiting a good friend of mine, and like any red-blooded females, we took advantage of Memorial Day sales and went shopping.
Our discovery? Never ever go to a dressing room after eating a huge lunch…all the food will still be in your belly!
The result? NOTHING fit us. Except stuff that resembled maternity dresses.
It was an abysmal abomination, and made me want to give up food forever. (Except I pigged out at a BBQ not five hours later.)
Lesson from this? Clearly, we are all attacked by inner demons while in the dressing room. We may not like what the (maybe faulty) mirror shows us, we may be trying on mis-sized clothing, or we may just be trying on something that’s not the right look for us! Do not add insult to the problem. Avoid shopping when you may be bloated, and try not to go directly after a big meal, or even when you have to use the rest room. Any of these factors may work against you!
Good luck, and may the force be with you.
