A touch under 31.0" this morning as I gave it an extra tug at 9:30am. Chipotle lunch date with daughter today. Considering leaving it on to see where my new “full” point is to have my belly compressed. My neck from the car accident had been bothering me that my arms were alternating between numb and tingling. Now they’re not. I know I did two things: try to fall asleep with the new pillow, and wear the corset, which makes me sit up.

First I used a hair trimmer, then completely shaved my legs. Also picked a book title last night, Somewhere Between. There’s crossover. Lotioned my legs last night with more neutral Jergens scent, cuase I’m goign to Scouts and CAP tonight.

I wasn’t hungry anymore after half the Chipotle bowl. Saved for dinner.

Removed at 4:35. Decisions I made today, now that I’m sitting here with a feeling of accomplishment.

• More Chipotle? Nah, save the other half for later? Yep.
• Chips Ahoy cookie? Daugher is having ice cream. Nope, half bowl plus Sprite - I’m full. Like pushing the corset tight full. It’s telling me.
• I could have worn the corset to Scouts and CAP, removing at showertime. The slight chance of being hugged tonight at Scouts is what decided removal.
• I was kinda sweaty when I took it off. The mesh one might have been better today.
