I found myself on the way to becoming a couch potato. Imagine me sitting on the couch eating and watching TV. While that did not make me a plus size woman, I find myself enjoying these activities. My best friends and relatives will never complain about the way I live my life. They know I am a hard worker and a brilliant writer.

My cousin Susan from Hawaii sent me an adorable sun dress that was 2 sizes too small. I thought about a smaller me fitting into this sun dress. I decided to put the dress down in the box and went about my daily routine. After several days of going through my regular routine, I stopped and looked at the dress. I started to wonder if I could really fit in this dress. After much thought, I decided I can do this. I can get off that couch, get rid of those snacks and strive for something better. I start replacing my couch time with busy work. After a while, I realize the irony that a simple clothing mistake can make a change in any woman's life.
