activeadventurer - I LOVE the idea of a "promise" dress! I might need to steal that one.

Six months from now I'll be back in onederland! I'll be able to shop in the non-plus size part of the store again, even if I'm squeezing in at the top of the range (size 14). I'll post a photo of me at the top of my favorite hike - Temescal Canyon near Malibu - and will be proud to be sweaty from my efforts. What's more, I'll be thrilled to have had the willpower and motivation to have made it that far!
