In Which Moodiness Is Occasionally Useful

serindeIn the midst of packing clothes not much used, I came across the closet where my prom dress and my wedding dress were hanging side by side. Now, the prom dress was the subject of a bet between Steve and me, back when I first determined to Do Something about my weight, lo these many years ago; I wagered[1] I would be able to fit into it again, which goal I never yet achieved. Of course I tried it on, and of course it is still too small, by a good margin; no brainer.
But then, moved by the usual sentiments this sort of situation generates, I tried on my wedding dress (silk satin and freshwater pearls, hand-made by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nedlnthred, ably assisted by Kasia; I made the buttons and did the pearl-sewing-on). It is too big, which I knew--but it's too big in the same amount that I'm too big for my prom dress. So in theory, barring what I learned about women's bone structures continuing to grow, it's not that unreasonable a goal.
[1] I can't remember what I wagered. This is lame and vaguely disturbing.

Date: 2008-06-10 06:36 pm (UTC)In high school I kept "out growing" my jeans, and I kept them (at my parents' house) thinking "When I lose the weight these will fit again". Eight-ish years later I DID lose the weight and tried the jeans on again, and they fit!! Unfortunately they were all worn out and hopelessly out of style by then.
I weigh like 25 pounds less now than I did at prom. ZOMG!
