Two days on the diet so far and I am so cocky about being able to stick to it and finally lose these extra 30 pounds that I went ahead and just ordered THIS, to wear at my brother's gala birthday party in November:
Non-returnable. More money than I have spent on a dress in as long as I can remember. Size small.
Shoot me now.

I love your attitude!.. you'll be wearing that beautiful dress in November, I'm sure...
I did kinda the same thing, the first week I was on IP, I bought a pair of size 12 hiking pants, on sale/non-returnable... at the time I was wearing a size 16 & couldn't even get the 12s up over my thighs... after 6 weeks on IP, I can get them on, but not zipped yet... I will, though!..
Wow, you guys are so supportive! Thank you so much.
I can't tell you how many times I have lost this weight, only to have it creep back on again at twice the rate it took to take it off. I feel lousy now. And my metabolism has ground to a halt, probably due to overdieting compounded by age.
I never buy clothes for myself, whether I'm thin or fat--I mostly inherit my daughter's "hand-me-ups." So this is a real "first" for me.
whoooott whhoooo, you gonna be a hot mama in that, why not hey.... I had a pair of pants that I used as incentive, I only just took them down and put them in my drawer, they fit but I have had them along time so not really in style but I will keep them to try on every so often so if I go off the rails a little I can keep myself in line...
I don't believe I just did this
Confidence or craziness?
So this is a real "first" for me.
