Fall is Falling -By Bill Larson

Happy Friday, my friends. TGIF!!!! Well, the end of another work week. I am just back from my daily “I’m going to do four miles on the elliptical if it kills me” workout, which I usually do beginning at 8:00 in the morning most days. I have to say it really feels good to start the day knowing exercise is not only a permanent part of my days but also out of the way for the day.
Recently, I did a weight loss column that focused on hiding. I think there is always a panic that happens this time of year, when bigger people (me included) like to be able to hide in our igloos of bigger, warmer clothes to hide the extra pounds we pack on during the holidays. Bigger clothes, in themselves, are comfort zones and if you’ve read my column you will know how I feel about staying in a comfort zone.
I know you may or not believe this but the best looking clothes fit. The bigger something is doesn’t mean that it makes you look better. It makes you look bigger. Do not be afraid to look at your wardrobe and cast off what is too big in favor of something that is both warmer and fits well.
You are all incredible and know that I am right there with you on this battle of the bulge. I have my own Battle of the Ten to fight before getting back to my goal weight and it ain’t gonna help going into my favorite eating season. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE to eat Thanksgiving food. Just you guys wait for that column. You will almost be able to smell the turkey and trimmings.
But until then, boldly go into your closets and purge your fat clothes. Do not be afraid. As you put away summer clothes and bring out fall and winter just know that underneath those clothes is a star waiting to shine.
