jenalena's Journal, 20 November 2014

Good things are happening! First, I shouldn't even admit that I'm happy about this, the new house purchase was delayed for a few weeks! We were scheduled to close the day before Thanksgiving which would have made our 4 day weekend all about packing and working on the new/old house. I want to enjoy the holiday. I want to hang with family and lazily slum around the house for a morning. I'm still excited about moving to the new place, but the delay is welcome.

Second, I'm continuing to see physical results in my healthy lifestyle! I can squeeze into a size 12. It is a little uncomfortable, probably not ideal, but I can fit in 'em!!!!!

Now for the turmoil in my life: I can't find a dress for my husband's holiday party. He was very specific; "Elegant and classy" "I want you to look really nice." What pressure!!!! I love my new body - but it isn't supermodel quality by any means! Elegant and classy are hardly in the stores these days! Ugg.. I want to be Beauty in Beauty and the Beast. I want to be the Lady in Red. You know... that girl that everyone turns to see and just knows she's beautiful. I don't want to be OMG, she tried so hard or why is she dressed up so much? I'm really struggling with it. I'm sure it'll come together. Normally, when I try to hard, it gets all messed up, so I'm trying to relax a bit. The 2 week deadline is kicking my butt. Just breathe!

Good luck finding a dress, I know the feeling of the pressure to find something that you feel great in. If you want a suggestion of somewhere to by a dress for the holiday party, New York and Company is my favorite store for that! Some are more expensive but some are very reasonable (and today they’re doing 50% off everything!) and they have very flattering cuts. I’ve bought a couple dresses from them in the past and every time I wear one I get tons of compliments. And sometimes all you need to do is add a cute sweater, jacket, or wrap if you’re self-conscious of your arms, which I am. You'll look classy and stylish! :)

You have so much to be grateful for... hold your head up and your beautiful grateful smile will always be more classy than any dress/jewelry/hairstyle could ever want to be! That's where the beauty is that everyone wants. Congrats on dong so well on your weight loss... that is a great achievement!!

Is there a Macy's in your area? Macy's always has "the dress" and I can always find something great on sale there!
