Another Wake-Up Call

I had another wake up call last night.  I'm not sure how many more of these I'm going to have before I finally change things.  But I hope it's some time soon.
Last night I went out with some friends, and I wanted to look extra nice, because lately I haven't been looking too nice.  I did my hair, did my makeup (a rare occurrence), and as I was getting ready to head out, I grabbed my pretty blue jacket that I've had for a few years.
It didn't fit.  I couldn't even zip it up.
How could that be??  I didn't think that I had really gained that much weight.  But there it was, plain as day.
"Okay," I thought.  "I still have my red one.  I don't have to zip it up.  It just has two buttons and a tie around the waist."
It didn't fit.  It was very tight around the shoulders/arms area.
Sigh.
You can only ignore the signs for so long.  I always thought it was weird how people didn't notice they were gaining weight.  But I see how it can happen now.  I mean....I knew I was gaining weight.  But I didn't think it was that noticeable.  Clothes don't lie.  And jackets certainly don't lie.
I'm so tired of this.  So.  Very.  Tired.
When is this going to stop?  It has to.  And soon.    :(
