It has to go on a diet!
Yes - I was scolded by the Physicians Assistant and told that my bag was "way to heavy" to be carried around!
IN FACT - - the P.A. actually put my purse on the SCALE to be weighed!
7 lbs!
I carry around a 7 lb bag! I couldn't believe it.
BUT - I use everything in there on a regular basis. I'm a mom, for crying out loud, I HAVE to be prepared.
The P.A. wasn't haven't it! She told me to go home and empty the purse out and get rid of all the things I didn't ABSOLUTELY NEED! In fact, she even made Trevor carry it out of the doctors office!
So - - it's a day later and my purse is still not cleaned out.
I'm having a hard time defining "NECESSITY".
Here's a peek inside my bag...
Help! What do I get rid of? Here's just some of the items I'm having a hard time letting go of (because, you never know, right?)...
2 pair of sunglasses

HELLO?? What could I possibly get rid of?
What about you... what's in your purse?

Well... Nothing's in my purse and I get along just fine.
I'd say lose the camera. The iPhone has a camera built in.
Stop eating gas producing foods and you can kick the rolaid habit.
Lose the lysol. Germs have a worse reputation than they deserve. I think we're creating a race of super-germs by using all that stuff on them all the time.
Lose the Tide. A spot on a shirt never killed anyone.
Maybe just keep one painkiller...
Good luck.
I have had that VERY SAME argument with my chiropractor!! So now I keep a bag in the van with all the stuff I "need", sunscreen, wipes, mosquito bite cream, everything. And then I have a smaller bag with my wallet and small needed things like chap stick and Tylenol. It has made a big difference in my back pain, too. Who knew, all those years of med school might make her a little smarter than me. Maybe. :)
Girl...thats not a purse! Its a medical bag! Take everything out of your purse you can't leave in a separate bag in the car. But by ALL means, keep the ankle bracelt with you at all times! :)
I weighed my purse this week in the spirit of this blog post and by golly it was 6.5 pounds. How do I live without all the things in it. I have my WW books, contact solution, meds, lip gloss, mirror, cell phone, calculator, wallet, checkbook, umbrella and others. Must be a girl scout...always be prepared!
