I need some advice I am on the fence about this and I would like some advice from my fellow dieters. One of the reasons I decided to start my current diet is because I am going to be a bridesmaid in my friends wedding in April. She called me today and told me that we were going for our dresses on the 30th. I have been so good on this diet not cheating and I just started exercising. I am sure that I have lost at least one dress size. This is the most dedicated I have been to a diet because all of the other bridesmaids are skinny. I do not want to be the only cow walking down the aisle that day.
So here is the question.... Should I order my dress one size smaller as motivation? My mother says no because if I fall off the wagon they cannot let the dress out which I understand. On the other hand if I pay $150.00 for a dress I am going to make sure it fits. I am totally committed and I WILL lose more weight. I was hoping to be at or not far from my goal weight by her wedding (64 pounds to go). What do you ladies suggest I do? I will totally do whatever you suggest.
