ALMOST 20 pounds down!

I am just 1.5 pounds shy away from 20 total pounds lost. Which happens to be 3.5 pounds away from my second goal!!
I am glad I took my April break for my birthday, my boyfriend's birthday, our anniversary, easter candy (i really didn't have that much), etc etc... I really have come back into this re-energized and ready to get this done.

Taking a break isn't always bad. Giving up is bad. Breaks are sometimes necessary. If you push yourself too hard, you might just fall. But in this case, it was what I needed. I didn't want to make excuses. I just wanted to hit pause. I didn't gain any weight during my break. In fact, I might have lost a pound or two without trying.

Priscilla, i might already be close to a size 6, so wipe that smirk off your prissy priscilla face!

...I'm back. And I'm deluded.

Blogging took up a ton of time (which I am already short on) but it was so great for support and helpful to keep everyone looped in. I can't commit to blogging every day, but I am back.

What prompted it?

I did something a little crrrazy this weekend. I bought a bridesmaid dress in a size 4.

I am currently a size 8.

This is a big deal at Priscilla of Boston. They have documents--legal documents-- where you have to initial several times and sign at the bottom to indicate that you realize you have a fat ass and you realize you're ordering a size that will not fit your fat ass right now, but you are deluded enough to think you will fit into this size in a few short months.

To fit into a size four, I have to lose... 25 pounds. That's one pound per week until the beginning of October. And the wedding is in October. I don't have a day to spare.

The dress size doesn't keep me going so much as the smirk on the saleslady's face when she heard that I wanted not one size smaller but two sizes smaller.

Well, watch this, Saleslady!
