Been getting very frustrated trying to decide what to wear for a wedding reception I'm going to with my OH, his boss and his family tomorrow night. I don't know anyone else there (well, my OH does, because it's the people who own the business he and his boss run). I have a feeling that it'll be quite 'flashy' dressy, but don't want to go too much down that road in case I'm wrong.
AND, despite that minefield, my main problem is looking in the mirror and getting things in perspective. I'm between 10 and 12 at the moment (smaller than have been for ages), and despite exercising most days, still have a bit of a tummy (but suppose that's going to be the case at 39 years of age!) When I look in the mirror that tummy is the only thing I see. I force myself to look at the little waist, almost toned arms, etc., but can't keep my eyes off my tummy. I think I'm probably being silly, and don't want to end up wearing something 'safe' and regretting missing the chance to dress up after all my hard work getting to this size, but then, don't want to obsess all night about it either.
I bought some tummy control pants from Primark, but to be honest don't think they make much difference and they make me feel hot and claustraphobic.
Sorry for the long moan - I just need Gok to come and sort me and my insecurities out I think.
