おぼえた日記
I went shopping before going to work. I need something to wear to the class reunion next Saturday. Though I've succeeded in my diet, I was afraid that there were no clothes which fit me. Since I didn't know what to choose, I asked one of the clerk to choose me nice ones. Among her choices, I picked up a pink blouse and a pale blue long skirt. I couldn't imagine I could wear a long skirt, which I had wanted to try. I also bought a pair of sandals which go with it. I had never bought my clothes these ten years. So I was embarrassed to go into the shop. I was not fashion-concious and I was't interested in fashion at all. But while I tried them on, I felt happy. I found it good to wear pretty clothes once ina while.
I'll keep doing exercise to squeeze my stomach.

Join the club.（私も同じです。）But I found the reason why I haven't succeeded in my diet for a long time. That's because I wasn't interested in fashion at all. If I enjoy shopping, I'll lose my weight more easily. Or if I lose my weight some more, I can enjoy shopping.
Which came first, the chiken or the egg?(^_^;)
それは良かったです。すっかりお元気になられることをお祈りします。
