in Introduce Yourself
In an hour I have to head out to a NYE's black tie gala wearing a ridiculously out of season and inappropriate dress because it's the only thing that will fit (to make matters worse - it's fitting because it is a kimono style dress without zippers, buttons, or any shape). In my entire life, I have never been in a position like this. I've never had to choose between cancelling an engagement or going to a party in out of date, ill fitting clothes, because I've gained too much weight to wear the things in my closet.

Even as I type this I can't believe it. How could I let this happen to myself?

Silver linings: identified the problem and am in the process of sorting it out. Glad I found this website, I think it'll help me (and my husband, who's already sick of hearing about my recent weight gain!)

    Im sorry you felt like that but we have all been there and still have a way to go. This is a New Year and a new start and Im sure by next New Years Eve you will be in the dress of your dreams. Take each day as it comes and little steps you will get there

    Thank you so much for your kind words, everyone. As a follow up: not only did the night go spectacularly, I also ended putting together an outfit that turned out to be great for both my self esteem and my wardrobe!

    Happy New Year!!!!
