Ruining weddings and other things I'm scared of...

I need to lose 40 lbs for my health and my sanity. We all know i've said this before but I've also done this before and can do it again with the help of my trusty WW. I'm up to 205lbs folks and its startin' to show in my jowls and that ain't cool.

Losing the weight isn't the problem, the problem is if I lose the weight I'll ruin April's wedding. I know this sound ridiculous to even say aloud. Why would one of my best friends not want me to look my best for her wedding and improve my health at the same time?

Well, because I've already been fitted for and ordered the dress and the darn thing can only be taken in two sizes. The wedding isn't until the end of April (I know, April's getting hitched in April...how cute.) I can lose 50lbs in 16 weeks if I put my mind to it and mom has already said she is going to get me a Suddenly Slender package to tighten up the skin this go round so I won't look like an empty sack of flesh naked. (nice visual eh?) But what am I gonna do?

Do I go ahead with my newly found motivation and lose the darn weight and just kinda hope we can find someone to make the dress fit me? Or do I just wait it out and start after the wedding? I can't do that either because I'm in Kelly's wedding in June! Geez people, will ya quit with the marrying already! Just live together, its cheaper when ya break up!

Back to me... I'm growing at astronomical proportions here and I have to get a grip on this because I have too many cute clothes to gain anymore weight, dang it! Plus I can't wear my sexy crap anymore because I end up looking like the trailer princess who fell out of her mustang on the way to Arizona Petes Country Western Bar! Just say no to Muffin Tops!

My humble opinion would be if you're motivated, you gotta go for it. You can find someone to do the alterations on the dress. You'll just feel so much better about life in general if you accomplish what you set out to do. Good luck!

Actually. I totally understand what you mean. Those bridesmaid's dresses are picked out early and fitted so it can be a P.I.T.A. to change them.

Well, since the dress is already made, at least that is an excuse not to gain weight either. So even if you stay put for a few months and then start losing it, that is something.

How odd. I said this once and it took me to my blog.

Knowing how difficult it is to get the motivation to lose weight, (I'm close to where you are) I say lose the weight and wear a belt. Can you get a matching belt?
