It's the new year and time for a new diet

I'm really in a healthy-living mood. But unfortunately, the most I'm allowed to lose before my March 24th dress fitting is 10 pounds. And then I have to remain exactly the same until June 9th.

My dress (I tried it on for the first time on Christmas!) fits perfectly and if I lose any more than that, I'll be in danger of screwing up the bodice.

I know, I know. It's just a dress. But it's a damned expensive dress (for my pocketbook, anway) and I'll be damned if I have to buy another one. I don't even think there's time. Consarn it!

Best wishes to everyone else in their healthy-living mood. We can do it!

Healthy living mood! Love it!

Listen, I understand your not wanting to change until after the "ordeal" with the dress. I can't wait to see your gorgeous pics.

Besides, if I may say so Ms. H, you look beautiful just the way you are!

I think that is a big point.

When I was heavier, I think I looked awful. I knew people who were larger/same size and I thought they looked fantastic.

I am trying to get back to a frame of mind where I am not just munching. I had dropped alot of weight by cutting out candy, bread, and as much fat as possible.

Trying to get back to my exercise program, it isn't easy. I had done it for over 3 years, religiously.

I slacked off big time over the past few months, to almost nothing the past couple of weeks. I was concentrating more on 'winter cleaning'. Well, I wondered why I felt so down. I read in one of my fitness mags {that I'd conveniently put away and someone else pulled out...} that if you stop exercising you can go into a depression, a week off is one thing but more...

So, I am trying.

The best thing that burned calories was dancing. And, I haven't been. So sad.

Good luck to everyone.
