Entry Trying to Lose Prom Weight
May 07 2007 21:21


So, Prom came and went, and I had a blast!!

I actually bought my prom dress a little too big (on sale, the smallest size available, you know). So, for the past few weeks (since the last journal entry), I've been putting on weight to fit into it. Not exactly in the healthiest way either... lots of ice cream was involved.

Anyway, I think gaining that weight was almost worth it, because I looked much better in my dress in the end than when I first bought it:

 

But, unfortunately, I think I gained more than 10 pounds, and I can't fit into any of my pants. As nice as I thought I looked in that dress, I would like to be able to wear pants again. I've been wearing skirts for TWO WEEKS STRAIGHT, and am now working on my third. AHHHHH!!!!

I also feel horrendously fat when I look down and see fat spilling over the edge of my underwear. Ewwww. I used to have a fairly flat tummy too. *cries*

I stepped on the scale a week ago and saw the number 130, and about fainted. I have never weighed that much before. I'm too scared to go see how much I weigh now, because I know it will be more.

So, I'm trying to get into eating right again (not having a gleeful binge every single day), and working out for an hour every single day.

Well, I ate about half a container of peanut butter out of the jar today, and I fell asleep so I missed my opportunity to exercise today. :( *sniffs* Noooooooo, why?????!!!

*goes and climbs on the treadmill determinedly*

Now, I love the piano picture, but this is stunning.

130 is a pretty good weight for 5'6"!  I've heard it many times from multiple doctors.

would it not just have been easier to have the dress altered?

dcgirl... I was thinking the same thing.

The dress does look great, though!

You look absolutely stunning.   The problem lies not with your body, but with your wardrobe.  I suggest that you maintain your weight and buy new pants.
