10 Things That Are More Important Than Those Last Five Pounds
via the September 2010 issue of Glamour.
- Birthday cake.
- Falling in love, running a company, buying a home — you know, the real stuff.
- Magic underwear. (Why do you think our grandmas always looked so good?)
- Dumping the guy who answered, “Uh, yeah,” to “Does my butt look big in this?” There, 180 pounds, gone!
- Perspective. It’s just five pounds. No need to act like it’s 50.
- Friends kind enough to post only the good photos.
- Going to Paris for the cheese, and San Francisco for the sourdough.
- The baby/law degree/743 fabulous Mexican dinners that put the weight on in the first place.
- Legs strong enough to hike your way all the way to the top.
- World peace. Or even inner peace.
