a goodbye letter


Dear Candy {swedish fish, those candy orange slices, cinnamon bears, peppermint patties, gummy bears...and any other candy I just might be able to get my hands on...it's bad...my addiction...i mean by 9 am i'm looking for some form of candy!}:

This is goodbye.
We've had a long and very frequent relationship.
But I can't do it anymore.
The pool opened this weekend and if I'm ever going to look halfway decent in my bathing suit {or even just presentable} I need to cut things off now. and not look back.
I have a pile of my summer shorts just sitting at the top of my closet laughing at me..."don't you wish you could button me and still be able to breathe??"
I refuse to buy more {bigger} clothes...so our relationship is over.
Maybe we can be friends again one day.
But not for now.
It's going to have to be a clean break.
Goodbye candy...goodbye muffin top...hello summer!

LOL.... You are too funny, good luck with your addiction, I can't even begin to think about giving up my chocolate. More power to you.

YOU ARE SO FUNNY... and it is scary how much you and Zach are alike, even down to the not fitting into shorts (because he is too skinny), but still he cannot fit into them. You both are crazy about exercise and you both love gummy candy things. :)

Let's not even talk about muffin top! Seems to me that my shorts and pants keep walking across the street to a thinner person!!

I've been trying all day to pretend my Diet Dr. Pepper tasted like chocolate...

Tisha said...

Mmmmmm. You're making me very hungry!

funny-cute-you :)

i gave up juice and that curbed my morning call to candy.

heresy to say, but i gave up diet coke and it curbed my afternoon call to candy. (i know. mean to even suggest.)

but i noticed the other day that i don't even miss them anymore, so that's the only reason i mention it :)

coffee addict that am :) we all have our addictions these days, huh? ahhh...

and you look awesome, btw. so, maybe it's the shorts that have the problem!

Michelle said...

Oh, the muffin top....how I now hate thee! ;)

Courtney said...

really, robyn??i have to give up diet coke so that i curb my thing for sugar in the afternoon?? maybe i'll try that...one day... :-)

beckley said...

you don't have to! it just worked for me, so i mentioned it. actually, an unintentional bi-product of giving up diet coke. you do whatever you want to! we all survive the best we can!!! :)

Tammi said...

I will be pulling for you! You can do it!!!

And because I am a lover of real food, if you are going to cave to the caffeine pull, try and make it regular coke -- better to put a little real sugar in your body than chemically modified unreal food :-)

Mad love and support!!!
