Stuck in the middle...
Nov. 5th, 2003 08:22 amWent out shopping last night in quest of a wedding-suitable dress, since very few of my dresses fit me any more (as I learned in the course of the last wedding I went to). Most everything in size 14 was too big. Most everything in size 12 was too small. We Are Not Amused.
I did find a few dresses which fit in each size, but I either didn't care for the way they looked on me (large breast pockets are not at all flattering when sitting on top of large breasts), or they weren't suitable for my current purpose. I am not unduly downcast, since hitting the discount places like Filene's Basement and Daffy's is a crapshoot anyways, but was vaguely annoyed since I'd been having luck at both places of late.
A propos, the current wibbles: my weight has stayed steady over the past month or six weeks--but the belt continues to grow looser. Just exactly how much redistribution can there possibly be? If this keeps up, I may finish by looking the way I want to, but my body'll as dense as a neutron star. Puzzlement #2 is that, okay, I seem to be entering the outer reaches of size 12 jeans, which is what I was wearing in high school, but I did the numbers last night and realized that I need to drop a good six inches yet around the tum to fit into my prom dress, according to what the dress place back then told me my measurements were. One of these facts is not like the others! I'd like to know which to believe, so I can make an accurate prediction of just how much longer I need to keep on this bloody diet. (In all honesty, it's not a question of craving bread or sugar; it's the nuisance factor, which when you're out for the evening is vast beyond description.)
