Ahhhhh... I want to start by thanking you all! What an incredible, warm, knowledgable, helpful support system you are!
Here's my big news:
>>Drum Roll Please...<<
MY WEDDING DRESS FITS!
For those who are new, I'll recap real quick... I bought my wedding dress 18 months ago... too small, even then. Then I gained weight on top of it.
On March 1st (4 short weeks ago) I could only zip it up to about 4" from the top.
Then i cried.
Then i panicked.
Then i got with the program.
March 2nd i started a clean induction. One month later i am down twenty pounds. Yay! Twenty pounds! But that's not nearly as cool as the 19" i've taken off my waist, hips, right thigh and right bicep combined!!!
Yesterday I had my final dress fitting.
It fits perfectly through the bust and hips, and - you ready for this?? - ROOMY IN THE WAIST!
I just want to post this, not only because I wanted to share the most incredible feeling in the world, but to help those who may be getting discouraged! This has been a quick and easy and rewarding experience, in a very short amount of time. I will keep it up - though i have to calm it down for the next month so i don't get too small for my dress. TOO SMALL FOR MY DRESS?!?! A month ago i would have found that statement laughable!!
Stay with it everybody! Don't get discouraged!
TRUST ME - it works!!!
