Not far now
Ok a popular refrain held on many a car journey with the kids. But in this case our vow renewal or more to the point my dress.
I started this Blog back in January with the intention of documenting my weight loss journey. And I did for the most part, but then Ian's illness got picked up on here and a whole slew of other things.
My sole aim for this year was to lose weight and I've done it. Well I've nearly done it 5 stone and 3 lbs lost or if you are american 73 lbs (Don't you just love it when it looks so much) and yesterday was the culmination of 6 months of dieting. I got my dress!!!!!
And guess what ........come on have a guess..........
IT'S NOT A MERINGUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it's not a slinky number that shows off every bump and lump (And boy I still have a few of those) but it's beautiful with a fair amount of swish in the skirts. So going for the fitting I take my good friend Dawn with me, a lovely lady who I can rely on to be brutally honest with me. Her first task of the day is to lace me into my Corset. A task she undertook with a great deal of enthusiasm and vigour. I still managed to breathe but only just. The effect was mega and hey I got a waistline, almost wanted to take a photo, almost...........but I didn't there is only so much of me that should be photographed.
So I have it and the dress is beautiful and dare I say it when I'm all made up with my hair done, dress on there is the vaguest chance Chris won't run screaming from the church. And that's the other thing my gorgeous hubby who has also lost nearly 5 stone. That was unexpected and he is delighted and I'm proud to say I fancy my gorgeous hubby rotten.
But the journey still carries on I want 10 stone off by christmas and with will power and SW behind me I will do my best to get there. So ladies and gentleman let's all raise a glass to a dress that isn't a meringue :-)
laters...........X X X
