So….
I got the blue dress zipped. Remember this one?
It turns out that zipping this dress turns it into a whole different ball of wax. I don’t remember The Dress having this effect the last time I wore it… but since that was WAY back in 2000, it’s very possible that the fit was similar. To quote Tina Fey:
“Because of the Greek-girl thing, I have, like, boobs and butt,” so “I only have two speeds— either matronly or a little too slutty. I have to be steered away from cheetah print.”
Except I’m German. Same difference.
When I thought about getting into this dress, I was planning on it being a nice Sunday afternoon dress. Um… not so much.
I seem to be all boobs here. Meh. Such is my life.
I still have about 10 pounds to lose before I am within range of what I weighed when I bought it. I’m not really concerned with getting there. I think the weight I am still carrying has redistributed itself. I’ve lost 7 pounds since those before shots and 11 pounds total. That doesn’t seem like enough to make such a difference in how my clothes fit but there is a pretty big change. I finally broke past 155. I’m teetering around 150. Sometimes up, sometimes down. I plan to start exercising again this week and that will probably help me lose those last few pounds. I feel pretty good right now. I don’t need to be a waif. I like curves. I like curvy girls. Plus, I’m tall so I can get away with a little extra weight, right?
This is where you nod your head and tell me I look just fine.
Oh wait! There is this last shot. Because I love this dress:
That is all.
You look lovely
Thanks, Julie! You are very good at following directions! lol.
“Just fine?” Um. You look HOT, actually. Great! I can’t even see where you’d lose pounds from. And not TOO slutty. Just slutty enough.
Kidding.
I’m pretty sure you are my new favorite person.
You look great girl! Love that black dress! I know what you mean about that last few pounds – I have 15 more to go and they are stuck – like glued on – like “I’ve been here so long I ain’t leaving without a fight” stuck. Sigh. I’m sure all the ice cream I’m eating isn’t the problem though…
Clearly not. It has got to be a problem with all those veggies. I think the veggie companies are sneaking in extra calories into the broccoli.
Oh dear – it’s a conspiracy isn’t it! They’re in it with all the diet companies. Really – somebody needs to uncover this terrible injustice!
You look fantastic!!
I have the same problem with my boobs, any top I wear they just shout “hello, look at me”, my problem is my in-laws are very anti showing any flesh at all, they have just had to get used to it, i blame the baby.
I have to try and squeeze into a pre-baby dress for a wedding next week, not sure if I will be brave enough to share it!
Oh! I hope you do share. I bet seeing yourself on camera will make you feel better. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be for me.
Those are some impressive boob shots! lol.
You look fantastic!
Haha! Thanks. Now imagine if I had gone all out and put on a bra.
Wow, you DO look great! Good for you.
(And are you *sure* you’re not breastfeeding? LOL.)
Thank you!
Trust me- if I was breastfeeding, those babies would have corners. When my milk comes in it looks like two concrete blocks smuggled in a bra. It’s… not pretty.
Yes, bodacious tatas for sure! I’m thinking you redistributed stuff into the right places. Fabulous!
