When I was little....

I used to go to bed and pray that I would wake up skinny.  I did not just do this on occassion.  I did this every.single.night for years.  It probably started when I was about 12. 

Most kids daydream about Disneyland or Santa Claus.  Not me, I just wanted to be skinny & be able to wear all the clothes that other girls my age wore.  My Mom used to take me to a "fat girl" store downtown & buy me half sizes in the chubby department.  Oh, how I wanted to shop at the mall instead! 

I think this explains why I am a total shoe whore.  I could wear the cute shoes, just not the outfit to go with them.

So you see, this band is for the little girl inside me ....Her prayers were finally answered.
