I've been absent for about 2 weeks. Been busy, been stressed.
As you know, I'm getting married in September, this is something I've been looking forward to. I had been dreading one thing, the dress.
I went home to my parents this weekend and stopped in at a bridal shop. They had plus sizes. The next day, my mom and I went back to the same dress sizes and looked for dresses. I was completely disappointed with the service I got so we didn't get my dress from there. I asked for dresses bigger than a size 20 to try on and they kept bringing me size 16's.
The next shop was very helpful, they brought me lots of dresses to try on and we had until May to order so we chose not to order at that time.
Convinced I had a dress that I wanted, we stopped for the day. Later on, we decided to try just one more shop. This shop called Brides by Tara was the most helpful shop of the day. Tara knew that I wanted to see what I looked like in a dress, I explained that one of the shops I'd been to kept bringing me size 16's. She only did that with one dress. The rest of the dresses were so big on me that they had to clamp them but I still saw what I looked like in them.
Since I'm on a weight loss journey, I wasn't sure what size I should order. I said that I had lost almost 60 lbs and plan to lose another 60 by September.

I ended up with a corset back dress, this way I can tighten it if its too loose or if I don't lose as much as I want it can be let out without any difficulty.
Thanks so much to the ladies at Brides by Tara because I ordered my dress and am quite happy with it. I'd share a picture but I'm afraid my fiance will find my page.




Foodwise, this weekend was horrible. I munched and munched but did fine. I had my first fast food since September, an Arbys Beef and Cheddar with 1/2 the curly fries.

I had my annual physical on Friday, when I weighed in I was worried because sometimes your other scales could be wrong. Well according to the doctors scale I've lost 60 lbs. I'm gonna stick with the Curves scale though because thats where I weigh in everyweek. So as of last week I had lost 53 lbs.
