Steve and I had our 15 year anniversary recently, but we will not be celebrating it until the end of April when Jackie, my mother-in-law, comes out to visit. Her present to us this year is her visit & giving us a couple of days free of children.
We have some plans to spend a couple of days in Chicago - go to a play, eat out, check out the sites. It should be a really nice way to celebrate our 15 years together.
The problem? Well, none really, except I find myself wondering how much weight I can lose between now and the end of April. Up to this point my entire goal was just to walk & enjoy the journey. Now? I want to try on one of my favorite dresses (that I haven't worn in years) & figure out if I need to lose weight to wear it comfortably for the play.
Ugh! I am really kind of frustrated with myself.
Is this a good turn for the journey? Is this a possible derailment? And how does trying to get "skinny" go with the new found knowledge that I need to accept me as me?
Maybe I should just go buy a new outfit...but I really hate spending money on something as I see as silly....is wanting to look nice for my anniversary weekend being silly?
Chime in - I need the feed back on this one!
So far, I am resisting the urge to weigh myself or try on the dress.
I do have a great pair of shoes that I bought a couple of years ago & have only worn once - those are going with me!!!
Happy Walking!
I'm all for buying a new dress, but I know how you are about new clothes. HMMM, do you feel like your clothes fit different? Trying on old clothes can be discouraging. . .I don't know! My vote is for a new dress! Something bright! (type 1)
