"Our self image and our habits tend to go together. Change one and you will automatically change the other."

What a perfect quote to start the day with after a day of shopping for clothes yesterday. Seriously, that whole left leg is bigger than the right - is very very annoying, and very very ugly when you try to wear skirts. I know people thing cankles are funny and all, but when you have one - yeah, not so much.

Imagine this if you will - me - trying on a halter dress (for some reason, Richard loved this halter dress) - fat leg - etc...NO THANKS. I like wearing skirts, but short ones - no no no and hell no. Aside from being overweight (which I'm working on getting under control), I'm stuck with lymphedema which there's no cure for and either wearing an ugly stocking on my leg (so sexy in skirts) or I'm stuck with a fat leg...

So to address the quote above - there are some things in our self image we want to change - and some we can't. Maybe my habits need to revolve more around not ever getting into things that show my legs that way I can avoid the self image problems?
