Do heels make you look thinner?

If you're a woman, you know that wearing heals makes you look much thinner. I'm only 5 feet 4 inches, so heals are almost always a must. I left the house rockin' a black suit with a crisp white shirt and argyle vest, and of course some pointy-toed high heels. I didn't think my day through when I got dressed. I knew I'd be going to the March of Dimes Chef's Auction and might be helping out at the event. I ended up spending ten hours, other than a few breaks, on my feet in my high heels! That must be worth about a million calories burned, right? It's at least gotta be a great calf and but workout. Probably not, but man I was ready to get off my feet! At least I looked thinner. . . at least in my mind.

My friend's husband thinks that's the funniest thing, that women think about what they wear on their feet to make them look thinner. I know men don't have to think about that, but it's really important to us. I just heard the other day on Cosmo radio that it's true, so it must be scientific or something.

The Chef's Auction had lots of food from many area restaurants. Most of it was super fattening. The cannolis looked devine, but I stayed clear. I did indulge in some seafood chowder and a small piece of lasagna. At least I had a Weight Watchers egg sandwich for breakfast and a Starbucks Vivano for lunch, so I don't think I was too bad. There was salad, but of course I didn't make it over to the healthy stuff.

I'm pretty psyched, because I ended up with two auction items. . . one for a mani, pedi, hot-stone massage, and $50 restaurant gift certificate and one for a but-load of coffee! Five pounds of Dunkin' Donuts coffee, two pounds of Starbucks coffee, 12 cups of McDonald's coffee, and one month of Tim Horton's coffee, plus two Starbucks mugs. Hmmm. What should I keep and what should I give for Christmas gifts. That will be a tough decision.

It's snowing, and that makes exercising outside a lot more difficult. Not that I'll actually do it, because I didn't today, but I always think I'm going to get up early and run. I at least have the snow as an excuse tomorrow.
