Little Black Dress Dilemma

Okay folks.  I need your advice.

Hubby and I have a dinner to attend in 2 1/2 weeks.  The "1/2" part is important because I do not have a dress.

I do have a classy black dress which I would love to wear.  It fits.   But it's tight.  And I don't mean "cool" when I say "tight."  And I need to be able to sit down for the dinner while simultaneously breathing and maybe even talking.  I would need to lose 10 pounds and do some firming up.

I could go shopping.  I do not like to shop.  I hate to shop.  Yes, hate is a strong word.  I especially hate to shop for dresses.  I am short and have no boobs and things fit weird.

So, which is the worst of two evils? 

Working out for an hour every day and starving myself? 

Or shopping?

It's a toughie.

You shop with the money you saved in the last month. I feel your pain shopping. Short chubby girl with big boobs even harder to fit. Have fun and post pix.

10lbs in 2 1/2 weeks is a lot for that short a time period, you're just setting yourself up for failure. Go get a lovely dress now so you have peace of mind and a good time. Then start the exercise/diet thing for the next event - you have almost 3 months until New Year's Eve. In three months you could lose the weight and shape up and not have "get in shape" as your New Year's resolution. ;0)

Ditch the LITTLE black dress and go for the maxi dress. :) Life is too short to diet. :) -- Riann
