Oh the horror!
So, I was starting to feel really good about the weight I was losing ... and then I went and tried on bridesmaid's dresses. Ugh. I'm still really fat!! However, to be fair, the dresses I was trying on probably wouldn't have looked good on me even if I was down to the weight I'd like. No matter how much weight I lose I will always have a "body type". In other words, I'll always have baby birthing hips and lots of junk in my trunk. The dresses I was looking at were made for ... well, all the other bridesmaids basically. Tall, thin, small bones ... bitches... Kidding. Kind of. ;-D
On the upside though, it did help me remember how good I am at dressing for my weight. With the exception of being about 130 (which is about where I'd like) I can almost always look about ten pounds lighter than I am just by dressing to suit my body. I have to admit I am kind of proud of that.
So, all in all, it wasn't a completely horrible experience. I did manage to find a dress that fit my body, though it wasn't at all what I was looking for and will need to "prettied" up. Now the hunt is on to find a dress that's the right color! Oh well, at least now we have a better idea of what we're looking for.
Hopefully my weight loss will continue at the rate it's been going, but I'll admit, I've been totally slacking on the exercise. It's been two weeks since I've pulled out my treadmill. I need to get movin'!
