Breathless

What's the fastest way to make your body image plummet even though you just lost 10 lbs in a week and a half? Go shopping for and purchase a slimming agent a.k.a. a girdle. The combination of the bad (read realistic) lighting and having your husband help you tug yards of lycra up to your boobs will make even the most confident gal want to curl up in her bed with a good book and a warm cup of creamy coffee.

See, the thing is, the dress fits. Which is good. But I didn't feel good enough in it to stand up in front of 200 people and have a gazillion photos taken of me. So off we went to the mall to find said garment. I was actually out of breath in the changing room. Guess I need to hit the gym three times a day instead of two.
