Thanks. I’m trying to be reasonable. I just want to fit in a dress and not look like a cow for my daughters law school graduation. Nobody cares but me about this. It’s a month and a half away. I started February 1 - I thought 15 pounds in over 100 days would be a reasonable goal. I do yoga, planks, walk the ridiculously strong Golden Retriever but I’m also stressed to the max with my parents, and my school. Maybe something magical will happen between now and then. I will keep going but I am not hopeful anymore. Guess I need a bigger dress.

Fun fact: Stress can increase cortisol. Cortisol can increase water retention.

I don't know what you can do about that, as a potential factor with all that's going on in your life . . . except maybe be kind to yourself during what sounds like a really difficult time period.

Trust that your joy for your daughter will light you up for that wonderful graduation, and you'll glow with happiness. In any size dress. Really.

Wishing you all the best!
