At the beginning of summer I would chase down the ice cream man, waving my money. HERE HERE HERE!!! GIMME TREATS!!! Now a few pounds heavier I have stopped chasing him and instead choose to avoid him. I feel kinda bad about that. He slows down at my house and looks me right in the eye when I am gardening in the front yard or fiddling around in the garage. I always give him a friendly way, but there is no money in my hands anymore. Just a delightful HELLOOOOO! He doesn’t want Hello’s, he wants to sell me ice cream. I was a sure thing just a month ago, now I am a huge disappointment. I can tell by the look on his face. My sweatpants are tight now. I have to stop. Ugh.
