Shirtdress Success!

Well, this time around has been interesting.  In some ways it's much easier because I was able to keep up with a lot of the habits.  In other ways though it's been tough.  My downfall happens when I get busy.  Work has been insane lately, and it means that I'm grabbing food in between meetings and eating dinner late.  By the time I get to dinner I'm absolutely starved, since it's been about 8 hours since I ate lunch.  So at that point all I want is junk food.  There is definitely a difference between the way I feel when I eat healthy and don't stuff myself than when I pig out.  That is enough to make me watch myself. 

This weekend I decided to do my quarterly closet excavation and see what antiques I could pull out to the front.  I discovered an adorable navy shirt dress that I stuck way in the back a couple years ago.  My hips had gotten, ahem, "a bit more generous" and this caused the dress to be a tad inappropriate for work.  I tried it on (along with other things in my "possible donation" pile) and was shocked to see that it looked great!  The front closed the way it should and it didn't look inappropriate at all!  The work fashion police won't call me out on this one anymore!  It's little things like this that make the sacrifices all worth it.
