I was talking to Britt this morning and I realized that I have lost 20 pounds since the beginning of the year. Holy crap. I'm officially at the weight I was at when Eli and I first started dating. I guess those 20 pounds are what they call "nesting weight" considering I put them on as Eli and I moved in together and started getting serious.
Eli, a wise man, won me over with his culinary talents. He used to make me cakes, cookies, homemade pizza and other delicious dishes. I've wised up to the fact that there's no way I can keep up with my high-metabolism, food-loving husband to be. My slimmer figure proves that.
But this morning I tried on my wedding dress and had a sinking feeling that I may have lost too much weight. It seemed a little big at the waist and my boobs seemed deflated.
I didn't completely freak out, it was more of a "crap, I don't want to have to deal with this now too" kind of feeling. I called my girls: mom, Kris, Jaci and Britt, for help.
Everyone seemed to agree that a little room is okay. Sure, standing up I may feel like I need it right up next to my body, but sit down and I want some room. I also decided that I just needed a bra with some padding. So I bought a new bra and Britt came over to take a look. The final verdict is that there is just enough room to keep it comfortable but I can't lose anymore weight. The new bra also worked but there is still some room in the boob area. Britt said it looks fine, though.
By the way, my wedding dress is the most comfortable thing ever. Seriously. It's made of lace but isn't too heavy and I can actually breath in it, even with the Spanx on. Very nice.

Sorry--took me awhile to comment. CONGRATULATIONS on the 20 lbs. I'm still trying to work off that last 5 you gave to me. Snot.
