As far as a deprived lifestyle, and can think of no more deprived life than one where you
strap yourself to a treadmill for hours at a time, then eat
small amounts of foods which put you on an insulin rollercoaster (thus making you hungrier) until you
break down and go face first into the Ben & Jerry's, become consumed with guilt, and start all over.
By the way it took me a few days to sew the bag as my sewing machine
broke down... I cut two
small holes on each side of the bag, so I could change the clutch into a shoulder bag by adding a
strap to the bag.
