slowly but surely

I have fluctuated in my weight a bit as I have been ill with chest pains. I had more than enough homemade chicken noodle soup and a concoction of chicken and rice (made with low-fat cream of chicken soup, thick)... So I gained a few pounds back. But now I'm back down to 149, so that's good. I'm really stressed out over some personal matters, so that definitely didn't help, either... I just keep telling myself that it'll happen. It's just a matter of time. Which, at this point, is my least favorable component in this weight loss thing. If only I could wake up to find that the fat fairy came and took it all away.... Sigh.And with that, I'll leave you all with this:

Dear Santa, 

This year I would like a fat bank account and a slim body, but please try not to mix the two up again like you did last year.

xoxo
