Size Wise

Most of the time I am smart enough to know that my self worth comes, not from the number on the size label inside my pants, but rather, from the number of cats I adopt... However, that doesn't stop me from having an inner celebration when I can button up a size 6 in the fitting room at the Gap. This is despite the fact that I am well aware that the size 6 has nothing to do with my vegetable consumption or my intense (lies...) work-out schedule, and everything to do with the Gap seducing me into buying a pair of pants...We are not a number and yet, we can so easily be affected by one. I hate that I care... I really do. I mean, I'm too smart to get caught up in that,...
