So I tried on the dress for the first time last night....
I realized last night that I never tried on "The Dress" in the size 8 that I am not yet....lol. But I did fit nicely in the 14 I tried on in the store. However, I realized that I never tried on the "The Dress" to see how far away I was....or at least how far away the zipper was from one side of the teeth to the other.
So I put it on and was shocked to see that the zipper space (the zipper is on the side of the dress) was not all that much. Perhaps about 4-5 inches I would say???? Now if I was not a 36D, perhaps this would be fitting me sooner rather than later. lol. But I was very excited and decided that once a month, I would try it on. No...the zipper wasn't even close to being able to go up even a little bit. But perhaps the first of the month, trying it on....will be one thing to help me continue with this motivation I have.
Yes...I had Golden Spoon again last night but if I am going to blow some of the days of the challenge that I am on, then at least I am doing it with something that is only 136 calories for the small as opposed to Cake Batter from Coldstone Creamery which is 410 calories, then I guess it could be much worse. Right??
Tonight it is pasta and veggies. I don't know what tomorrow's WI will bring...I am feeling like I got rid of the damage I did over the weekend with the dinner out and wedding. But I would seriously take a maintain tomorrow. I can pray that the scale goddesses will smile upon me but I am not counting on it. Anything I get that is not a gain, I would take. TOM is almost out of the house and I have been a perfect little WWer....counted all of my points...exercised....got my water. So I will go tomorrow and face the scale...whatever it may be....and move forward with my life. lol.
You've been doing great and I'm proud of you! Cool on the dress too! I'm sure that will help motivate you for sure!!! Oh yum Golden Spoon!!!! I sure do miss that!!! The only yogurt place we have here is TCBY and it's inside a Burger King!!! I've never been. I hate that!!!
That article was interesting. It's true how the more variety your food is, the more likely you'll gain. Even Dr. Oz from YOU: The Owner's manuel said to try to eat the same thing for breakfast and lunch everyday to help reduce temptations.
That Golden Spoon place sounds really good. I wish there was one here in Florida. Maybe I can write to them and tell them to set up one in Florida too! :) Hope you have a great weekend and Happy Easter!
Keep trying on that dress. You are going to look great in it and the closer you get to fitting into it, the more motivated you will be!
I haven't heard of the Golden Spoon but my family loves Coldstone....yummy. Now when we go I get the sinless kind....boring compared to the others though!
I actually tried on my ultimate goal dress last night and while my zipper gap was probably significantly larger than yours (the dress is about 10 years old after all), I know exactly what you mean about the boob issue. I'm a 38 DDD (didn't even know that was possible until I was fitted for my wedding dress) and I don't understand how clothes are ever going to fit me if these damned things don't start deflating.
I had a real long message typed and hit a key and went backwards and lost it all. ARGH.
Here's the short version.
GOOD LUCK!

Oh and ...
Just remember, however it goes, your success and journey won't ever be defined by that piece of material on a hanger (even though it's beautiful and I know you'll reach your goal.) But remember, whatever happens, be proud of yourself because you've done an amazing job.
