Dreamgirl here! - Lakita's pursuit of "the bikini"

I remember when I was in my 20’s.  Losing weight was not a problem. But then again did I really need to lose weight?    I remember saying to myself, ‘I will never let myself get any heavier than 130lbs.’  I look back now and laugh at the thought of 130lbs as being ‘heavy.’  But then again in my 20’s, gaining weight wasn’t easy.  There were nights I could eat a whole medium sized pizza and a liter of pop, go to bed and not have to worry about getting fat.  Of course that was then and now in my 30’s I could chew a piece of gum and ‘blow up.’  Life, moreover, was different all around – I was younger, single, less responsibility, and more ‘me’ time.  Today is a different time – older, responsibilities of wife and mother, and no more ‘me’ time.  What can I say, life happens, and this calculation only adds up to a less responsive body, slower metabolism, and as a result, we gain weight.
