1, 2, 3, 4.
Months.
Four months.
17 weeks, 2 days.
38 pounds to lose to reach my comfortable "curvy" weight.
Today is my first day on Jenny Craig. They seem to think that it's not impossible. I am hesitant to get my hopes up. It better work because it's expensive. I can exercise, but I need someone else to think for me in terms of food right now, because I am obviously not thinking. I just need something to be easy and thoughtless while I:
- work on self-control.
- work on discipline.
- work on actual work.
- work on invitations.
- work on programs.
- attend showers. (Only eight weeks until the first one! The invitations will go in the mail on 7/1!)
- design and write thank you notes.
- am fitted for gowns.
- take engagement photos.
- do tons of things that require me to look at mirrors and my reflection ad nauseum.
- work on not being a cliched asshole that worries about her weight all of the time so that I will be a good wife. (Seriously, when do women get a break? I've freaking out like this since I was 18 -- when I really didn't *need* to be.)
- get used to being called "a wife."
Andy's excited. He said that he hears a change in my voice. I think that he's getting tired of me talking about this. Rightly so.
