My concerns about bulk, fat and muscle seem justified. I tried on the
gown I wore in 2001 that's in my after picture and it would not zip up
from the middle of my back where you hook your bra but fit everywhere
else.
My bust measurement is about an inch and a half larger, equal to the
gap in the dress. It seems a strange place for gained weight to go. My
first reaction was intense anger at myself. I am trying to get sorted
out. Then I'll need to borrow or shop or stay home from the big fat
sleek wedding Oct. 11.
Right now i could crawl into a hole but if it measures less than 39" I
can't get out.


Can you get the dress altered?

No


ANd how are you doing after your little doc visit this week?


Are you confusing me with my daughter? (That would be nice) She goes to
Dr. Bernstein and has now lost 20 pounds fast.) i do not, can not,
would not except in fantasies. He gives injections which I can and
would not take. But I never give up and will fit into that dress for
June 2004 for a special event.

did your daughter post earlier this week about having to go on a fast
because of an upcoming colonoscopy to have more polups removed and is
allergic to the drink they give to clean out the system so had to go on the
self cleansing fast.

The fast means soft foods for a few days followed by liquids for 24
hours. That won't happen for a couple of weeks and no prior visit to a
doctor is required so I didn'tunderstand your reference. The
colonoscopy is the day before the wedding and usually leaves me with
pretty sore insides for a few days.

Tonight was most unpleasant. An out of town guest insisted on taking me
to her favorite restaurant in appreciation for staying at my place.
I ordered soup, the waiter admitted it had MSG. I ordered spareibs. The
waiter acknowledged all were made with barbecue sauce containing sugar
and MSG. I ordered asparagus. The waiter cautioned it was made with
some kind of cornstarch in the sauce. He brought the others sliced
potatoes, French Fried battered onions and lobsters. i was embarrased
to order a steak the smallest costing $37.50 since someone else was
picking up the tab. I pleaded flu (not an exaggeration) and fled home
early for two slices of Emmanthal cheese and the season premiere finale
of "Will and Grace."

Basically I find restaurants usually more of a trial than a pleasure
and am getting progressively more cranky these days or ****y or crabby
or downright miserable and snappish.
