I was just looking at my excel weight chart, tracking my progress and noticing an interesting symetry.  The day before I headed out for my week in Cancun I was at my all time low of 138, and over the course of feasting in the week at Cancun I gained 6 pounds (up to 144) by the next weekend when I returned.  Now, one week back at the diet, the scale is back down to 138.  A perfect symetry -- 6 pounds to gain in a week, then another week to lose that same 6 pounds and back down again.  So I only lost two weeks out of my diet life -- I'm back on track to reach my bridal figure (and Costa Rica beaches honeymoon figure!).

Very soon I will need to go to the fitting for the dress...

It's so nice to be getting thin again, to look forward to how I will look in clothes instead of always feeling that irritation over certain trouble spots, to always calculate what types of clothes will best camoflage, to know other types are just automatically off limits.

Not only is this diet working, but that in combination with the lipo for my ultimate trouble spot thighs is soon going to place me smack dab in clothing territory I've NEVER been able to wear -- certain tight, form fitting pants -- it's an amazing thing looming on my horizon, exciting to look forward to.

Very soon now I will be plunging into numbers I haven't seen since that brief, fit summer of 1980 (?) at 135 pounds.  A few years ago when I (for only a few days) achieved 138 (after the flu of course) -- was the last time I came even close to that ellusive high school weight.  And here I am again -- 137 will be breaking past that 138 mile marker and soon -- I'll be in high school weight, and beyond...!
Even in high school I wasn't perfectly svelte, there were still some thick thigh issues -- so we'll see where this goes.
The 1200 calories per day is so maintainable - with my diet-buddy to encourage me -- there's no reason why I can't do it this time.
Hurrah!!!
