I guess I've never really noticed my ankles early in the day. I guess when I look in the mirror my eyes are drawn to my other not-so coveted body parts. (Have I ever mentioned how I absolutely despise my double elbows??) I don't pay attention to my ankles when I'm getting dressed in the mornings, but I sure do notice them in the evenings! I am always terribly sad to see and be reminded that I don't have tiny little sculpted ankles, but cankles. Cankles that I want to hide. Cankles that make capri pants and strappy sandals not-so cute and fashionable.
(Ironically, I don't notice anyone else's cankles. I do, however, notice (and am envious of) other people's ankles. "Ohhhh...she's got amazing ankles!" I find myself thinking. "When I get rich, I want ankle lipo to give me ankles that look like THAT!" I tell myself. Forget boobs. I want ankles!)
This morning, however, I happened to get a glimpse of my cankles as I bent over to pick up the book that I dropped. That brief glimpse made me do a double-take! What did I see, you ask?? I saw that, for whatever reason this morning, my ugly evening cankles are actually kinda cute little ankles! Are they cute little ankles every morning? Have I hated my ankles for years for all the wrong reasons?? Do I really actually even need ankle lipo???
This morning's shocking discovery leads me to the conclusion that there's a strong possibility that my cute little morning ankles just swell throughout the day (not enough water perhaps?!?!) and that maybe, just maybe, I haven't, in fact, been permanently cursed with ugly ol' cankles as part of getting older!!!
There's hope for me and my (c)ankles yet! Hope that I'll be able to confidently wear cute little ankle-strappy sandals! Hope that I won't need ankle lipo in order to have cute little ankles.
Yes, today I have hope.
(Before pictures have been taken and results of this investigation are pending.)
