  • I bought a dress a few years ago when I was losing assuming I'd fit into it in just a week or two, and, well, it still has the tags on it. It's a size or two lower than what I was at the beginning of Jan when I started, and I want to wear it to a work event next Saturday, or barring that, for Valentine's Day. I have it…
