Bucking the trend in 2008

This is a cross post from my alter ego's site. Monica and I were both a little amazed, but not surprised. She was also a little hurt that she has to special order tall sizes even while new plus size sections are popping up.

Walking through Fred Meyers yesterday my wife realized we were in the junior plus size section. I thought plus size was the territory of Big & Tall or Lane Bryant. When did kids get a plus size section? I guess it follows from the supersize trend in America. Well bucking that trend is one of this year’s resolutions in the Wally household. Thankfully, we are continuing an effort rather than starting the tough road today.

Last year we embarked on a journey to change the way we view and consume food. Our goal; eat to live rather than live to eat. For us eating to live entails limiting refined sugar, refined flours, process foods in general and of course no gluttony. We and several friends have been pretty successful with this goal over the last 6-7 months, but it can still be a struggle for us from time to time. For our sake and the sake of our children, we pray for God’s continued assistance in 2008.

Happy New Year and may God bless you in all your efforts!
