7 lbs

3 to go, before Valentine's Day. I can do this! Yahoo! I've been eyeing a dress in my closet. It's been there a while, a LONG while, and it still has the tags on it. I have a couple of things like that, with tags on for various reasons.

This dress, pretty soft green with flowers - fitted bodice longish skirt, probably totally out of style now, but I still like it. I bought it because I liked it, it fit (sort of) but would have fit better 5 pounds lighter, and it was the only one they had. And another lady was eyeing it too, and my green eyed monster didn't want to miss out. I'm not proud of that, she probably would have worn the thing!

I don't know how much weight I need to lose to wear that dress. I know I couldn't wear it now even if it wasn't January and 4º and totally inappropriate. Maybe Mother's Day? May 14th, I think.

I have some other tag on clothes too. I finally gave up the leather skirt to the consignment store, but there's a black dress I bought in anticipation of a funeral that didn't (thankfully) happen, and a lovely linen suit. I can get the pants on, but the top won't even meet over my chest. That one needs at least another 20 pounds and a different bra. I think I'll wear that one before the dress, but maybe not. Maybe I should write on the labels what I have to weigh to wear them. Nah.. I'd rather weigh what I should and buy NEW clothes! Yeah, that's the ticket!
