The Little Black Dress

I’ve heard it said that all women need a little black dress. The little black dress is sexy and sophisticated. It can’t be dressed up or dressed down. It is sliming and stylish, a timeless classic. I have never had a little black dress before. Even when I was skinny before I hadn’t found one that I liked. Well I now own a little black dress. I was so excited when I bought it. (On sale too, originally 59.50, got it for 29.50). I ordered the dress online because I thought that the style might flatter me and the price was right. I figured if it didn’t fit (which I was betting it wouldn’t) I would just send it back. I got it in the mail and I couldn’t believe what happened when I put it on. It fit and looked good. Of course Mummy-dearest, my toughest critic, felt the need to inform me that my legs are too chunky and it would look better once I’ve lost more weight. But I figure if that is the worst she had to say then it was probably alright.


So I wore it last night and got a great reaction. Everyone told me how great I looked. Coach really liked it. Aunt Superficial told me I looked stupendous. I was feeling self conscious because I had never worn this sort of dress before but it seemed to go over well. We were at a dedication for new area of our local hospital. I did realize shortly after we got there that it was a little low cut to be wearing around my grandfather, and later in the evening once I got home I even ended up having it slip a little too low and show off my new bra. But still I consider it a success. Pictures are soon to follow.

Also, I have had a bit of a stall for the last few weeks. I have been getting really frustrated. This week I have seriously cut down on my calories and upped my work out. Yesterday before pumpkin time I weighed myself to find that I had broken the stall and lost two pounds. Now I just have to keep the loosing going. Hopefully I can. I also realized that I have not gotten sick in a long while. I don’t remember the last time I ate too much, too fast, or the wrong thing and made myself sick. So that’s gotta be a good sign. I did notice that those weeks where I wasn’t losing my protein was down a bit. So next week I may experiment and see what happens if I increase my calories and protein a bit. Will I keep losing or not? Hmmm. We will see.
