Earlier this year a bought a wee party dress - an impulse buy of course! The best part of the impulse buy was the fact I failed to try it on before leaving the store ...
It didn't fit. The little beggar of a dress had a 12 inch zip. I could only do up the first 4 inches of the zip.
I refused to take it back. Instead, I would shrink to fit the dress rather than admit the dress didn't fit me. Ah, a woman's logic!
After shaving off 5kgs over the past 8 weeks (a painfully slow process!), the party dress fits. It's snug and I wouldn't yet feel comfortable wearing it to an event but the point is I can get into it with the zip fully done up. Another inch or two off around my rib cage and I'll be good to go.
It's funny how something like fitting into a new dress or your favourite pair of jeans that you haven't been able to for as long as you remember, can inspire you to exercise that little bit longer or eat just that little bit better. Today, after the pleasant suprise of fitting into my dress, I eagerly and happily went for a run!
PS: Yes - I am sporting morning hair and a very forgiving mary jane head band to disguise it! LOL!

your bedroom looks very neat and tidy... I want a house like that. Do you have an elf that does it?
