I don't know what i am!!!
When i started CD i was a size 26. After 10 weeks and loosing 2 stone i decided to go shopping at the weekend with a friend, and i tried on a stunning blue dress SIZE 20!!!! I felt fantastic to say the least.
Now i had always said that on Sept 15th (when my bridesmaids have their dress fitting) that unless i was a size 20 i wouldn't be trying on any wedding dresses - gave me a goal to aim for.
After the weekend i was ecstatic that i could be confident enough in trying on dresses too.
BUT...This morning i went on their website to look at there sizing guide.
I re-measured myself and to my shock horror, to be in their size 20 dress i need to loose the following inches:
Bust - 4 inches
Waist - 6 inches
Hips - 6 inches
That means i have 7 weeks to loose 16 inches. It's never going to happen is it :wave_cry:
I'm so cross that i built my hopes up after just this weekend.
I had always stayed level headed and told myself "IF (big if) i am a size 20 i'll try dresses on" But i never actually pushed myself or got upset about it (my no1 rule when i started this diet was not to feel down cos i'd just give up)
I felt like a million dollars in a size 20 dress in the debenhams changing room. The truth is i was so happy i cried on my friends shoulder in the changing rooms. And then that was it - i had it in my silly little head that i was a size 20. :wave_cry::wave_cry::wave_cry: :cry::cry::cry:
Now all my hopes of trying on dresses are shattered after looking at the size guide online.
In a way i am so happy i checked the sizing guide because i'd planned on walking into the bridal shop and saying " SIZE 20 PLEASE!" - at the top of my voice of course. My God if that had happened i'd have been so humiliated when the zip wouldn't fasten.
I know im not getting married for a year, and i know by the time it's here i'll be in that size 12 dress! But for once i just really wanted to try on clothes with my bridesmaids and feel confident in doing it, and enjoy it. Now i can't and i'm feeling pretty grim...
Sorry for going off on a wobbly, just needed to let off steam and tears...:wave_cry:
