Now there's a funny typo: not wanting your head on your shoulders. And two heads are better than one
. I should not try to write anything after doing one of Alwyn's workouts--my brain is scrambled!

And I looked at mine the other day and they're too short! I never even noticed...
Ever since her email about that, and since I've been doing NROL4W, I've been paying a lot of attention to my clothes. And I've noticed that several pairs of my pants are just too short on me. And so are my shirts!
I look SO much better when I wear tops that go to the middle of my hips. My long torso just looks so crappy with shirts that go to my waist, but of course since my torso is long, that's where most shirts stop!
So I've realized that often when I look in the mirror and think I look bad, it's because of how my clothes fit me, not because of my body. Major mental breakthrough!!

I started watching
What Not To Wear back in college. After one episode, I went back and started trying on my clothes based on their recommendations. I realized that most of my clothes were too
large! Somewhere I'd gotten the idea that I was a size or two larger and had just kept buying clothes without trying them on because I hates the shopping.
I have short legs and arms and torso and everything, so everything is too long on me. Hey, I know--I'll start cutting off the extra parts of my clothes and send them to you to lengthen yours
