Before and After(not done dieting yet!)




So, we went to buy a new dress this morning and I did get lucky again! I liked my 1st dress a lot, but I love this new dress and I look so much better as a 12 than I did as a 16W! The only thing I am not crazy about is how straight across the neckline is. The 1st was the same but I had it made into a sweetheart style when I had it altered. It would be impossible with this new one as it's a corset style. I took the removable caplet/straps off the first dress and am having them put on the new dress. They match perfectly and enable me to wear a regular clear strap bra and not a strapless bra(which we all know do nothing for our shape, especially for 48 year old boobies!) And being the 1st dress was originally strapless, it looks good that way.
So, the only alterations this one needs is the straps being sewn on and the button and hooks for the bustle.
This dress was only $50 more than my other one and the woman gave me a $50 restaurants.com gift card to make up for it.
I hate that I had to spend more money but feel like I can't put a price on looking and feeling better and being a size 12!
I really have been eating all wrong for days but now that I have a skin tight dress, I am back on the wagon starting tomorrow. It will be an ugly weigh-in but it's my own fault for turning to food because of stress instead of something smart like exercise! I have made great changes but that is something that will need to be worked on for the rest of my life. Food is not my friend in time of need and I have to keep that in mind and also in practice.
After the wedding I'll worry about the last 15-17 pounds I want to lose.
So, you know anyone who wants to buy a beautiful wedding dress that was a 16W but altered to a 14 & has the bustle done already and it's only been worn for this picture and tried on for alterations? I'll sell it to you cheap! Seriously! Any takers?!?
