I don't know what magazine it is in, but some fashion magazine finds two celebrities in the same outfit and challenges their readers with "Who wore it better?" There is usually a clear winner. I thought of this feature when I chose my dress for the wedding we went two a couple weeks ago. This dress has gotten pretty good mileage over a long span of time although I know it has been several years since I've worn it last and almost weeded it out in a closet cleaning a couple times, but I still felt like I would wear it again. So, with no further explanation, who wore it better? Whether or not you like my choice in dresses, I will take one moment to pat myself on the back that I am even ABLE to wear the same dress at 46 as I wore at 34. I will give a large part of the credit there to a regular exercise program, namely running. Keeping fit helps people maintain a higher metabolism which is especially helpful for those of us who love to eat...even on a restricted diet. I will never profess to eat a perfect diet, even though I am a dietitian and fully aware of how to make better choices. I firmly believe in the theory of eating well 80-90% of the time and enjoying a few indulgences in the remaining 10-20%. Nothing is more appealing that what is forbidden. I'm not too great on moderation, so the Sunday Treat Day and keeping it as sugar free as possible in between is very helpful for me. When I know that I can have those treats on Sunday, passing them up the other days isn't quite as hard. One different choice I'd wish I'd made for the wedding was my dinner choice. My meal was absolutely delicious, but the people who chose walleye got fish on their placards and vegetarians got a carrot. Guess what I picked: You got it...I picked pork. Since they did spell my name wrong, it was easier not to internalize that I had a pig on my card. Here are the other folks sitting at my table--a very good looking group if I do say-so myself, but I may be a little biased. They are most of the men in my life and my in-laws. Haley had to work which was a bummer as she'd have enjoyed the dancing and family time. Please comment on whether you liked my dress better in 2006 or 2018. Do not account for the cute kids in 2006, they are still handsome now in a young-adult fashion. Do you have any old favorite outfits? Describe them of better yet, attach a photo! Happy running--Missee
