More than two months ago, the bridal salon phoned to say that my dress had come in. They encouraged me to make an appointment for a fitting right away. I procrastinated for a while, and then admitted that the reason I didn't want to try on the dress was that I was worried it wouldn't fit!
Because I was between sizes, the bridal consultant had encouraged me to go with the smaller size, which would require fewer alterations, assuming that I lost "five to eight pounds." With long, looooong desk-bound workdays for my huge deadline, I was stressed out, snacking unhealthily, and getting no exercise.... not conducive to losing weight.
There's nothing like a deadline to bring priorities into focus, and while I postponed the fitting to finish the dissertation, I tried to get my eating habits and exercise routine back on track, with all the great comments from here.
The result: the dress fits as though it was made for me! Perfectly! And looks amazing with my Jimmy Choos! Woo-hoo!!!

Jimmy Choos!? lucky you Barefoot bride!
btw - I really appreciate the comment you left on my site...it was touching and made me feel a bit braver about my journey :-) thank you for that.
wow go you...if i had to finish a dissertation before a dress fitting i'd be 5 lb too heavy cuz oh how i loved to snack during my academic work days.
You're soooo lucky.
@ Julia: it was a constant battle between the snacking and the elliptical machine!
@ A.Mountain.Bride: even better, the Jimmy Choos were half price! I swear I saw a golden beam of light & heard angels sing when I found them.
That's very great from you, You did a wonderful job. You loose yourself. Isn't it a miracle? Really very impressive.
Allvira,
