My Wedding Dress
Okay, I’ve been fluctuating between 145ish and 142ish all month, and this morning, I was down to 141.4. So, on a whim this morning, I thought, what the heck, let’s try on the old wedding dress. And I did. And it fit. It fit!!!! My butt actually looks smaller in the dress now than it [...]
