Dear Lauren [me]: It’s time to let the cat out of the bag and face the facts: You’re not happy. You know what I am talking about too — the heavy, dark emotions that are always hovering, no matter how much you try to suppress them. Fact #2: Rather than facing them head on, you’re increasingly using food and alcohol to bury them. You turn to beer, mixed drinks and shots to make you feel better, even though you know you a) don’t really want it and b) definitely don’t need it. You’re forging down a dangerous path, and it’s no good. The truth is, alcohol may make you feel better, more outgoing, pretty, but in truth, you can obtain all of those feelings, and more, with something else, something better. What, you ask? You can finally feel pretty, happy, outgoing (I could go on and on and on) by taking control of your life. It’s your life, so live it. Make the most of it. Do the things you want to do; be the girl you want to be. It’s time to stop letting life pass you by, because before you know it, it’ll be gone. In other words, get off your lazy, stubborn behind and start one pound at a time. If you want it bad enough, you can do it. XOXO — Your Wake-Up Call
