Well, that's nice of you to say. It was frustrating today, though, to try and figure out what I might wear to my Cousin's wedding tomorrow. I've put on enough weight around the middle that I can't fit in two out of three of the new dresses I bought last year around the wedding. And darn it, that includes the black cocktail dress I was planning to wear the night Bill and I go out on our fancy date to celebrate my thesis/ our anniversary! hmm. I've got a month. That's safely 4 to 8 pounds. That might cut it.

I sigh.
