The Trainer
Looking in the full-length mirror, Julie was unhappy with what she saw. She stood 5’7” and was 185 pounds of fat. Julie needed to do something now to get her health under control. She’d tried so many diets and health fads, but none worked. Oh, they probably would work if Julie had stuck to them. She’d never been able to stick to a healthy diet when there were so many good things out there to eat instead. She always caved in and had that extra slice of chicken or pie after dinner. She couldn’t seem to help herself when it came to food.

My eyes were fixated on the brown 'Welcome' mat that rested on the teal-painted doorstep. As the old saying went, "it must have been the wind."

Her umbrella forgotten in her fit of rage, she didn't want to go back for it and face what was in there.
