well ladies, today was my first dress fitting for my november 3 wedding. a little backstory... in jan of 2011 i started a diet/exercise program, ultimately just limited calories and strived to get 300 minutes of moderate activity in per week. so in the first 6 months i lost 35 pounds. then in the year since then im only down about 10 more, and i've been hovering in a 5 pound range for a long time.
i bought my dress in november 2011 hoping to lose more weight by the time i had to wear it, though i didnt order a size down or anything, just hoped it would need to be taken in. unfortunately when i tried it on today it was too tight. the scale doesnt lie, and i havent gained any weight since i bought the dress, but it felt tighter than the sample i tried on which was a size smaller than the one i ordered. anyway it feels crappy, especially since i thought i would walk in and slip right into the dress, but this is just the kick in the butt i need to get moving and start being more conscious of everything i eat. thankfully, even if i dont lose any weight, i can just have the modesty panel in the corset back extended about an inch and it will be ok (though still tight). but i have 8 weeks from today to lose some weight, and i would really like to tone my arms more as well. i know what i need to do since i have lost weight before, and now hopefully i can use this as my motivation every time i want the burger or cake instead of fruit or something more sensible.
just felt like sharing here to vent a little and put my goals in writing!
