People are starting to notice that I've lost weight. And, people only tell you that if they can clearly see it. So, that's a good sign! For two weeks I stayed the same, but I'm pretty sure I've gone down this week.
My birthday is coming up, and it's giving me that little extra push to stay healthy. Last night I went out for dinner. And, instead of getting fries with my burger, I got salad. And not a ceaser salad, a tossed salad. It was a really nice restaurant, and everything tasted great. I was there with my grandma who DID get fries with her dinner, so I was still able to have a few. I didn't deprive myself, but I didn't stuff myself full either. Also, I didn't get extra toppings on my burger (like cheese), and I didn't have bread, or a drink. Finding that balance is something that is very hard for me, but I really think I did it well last night.
Yesterday I tried on my 'skinny' pants. You know, those jeans you keep at the back of your closet? Anyway THEY FIT NOW! I got them zipped up and everything. Granted, they were snug, but still! I figure that if I can lose a few more pounds in the next three weeks, they'll fit nice and comfortably.
On Saturday I bought a pair of 'birthday heels'. They are so unlike what I usually wear. They are magenta colored, have a swade ruffle down the middle with an ankle strap. They are peep toe, and have a totally high heel. They make my legs looks amazing! After I bought them, my friend and I went to this entirely too expensive store, just for fun. And, I came across this six hundred dollar dress, and just HAD to try it on. It was AMAZING. It was literally the most expensive thing I have EVER worn. It was black. The bottom had pleated taffita ruffles with a bent that was beaded with crystals, and the top part was lace. My friend said I looked so good she couldn't even look at me for too long, because it was too much to take in. I couldn't believe it when she said that to me, it made me feel really nice.
I haven't been able to find a dress to wear for my birthday. I want a BA BAM dress, but nothing out there right now is very interesting. I tried on one strapless dress, but it made me feel self conscious about my stomach. I'll just have to keep looking. I know I could just wear something I already own, but I just really want something new to wear for my birthday!
