wow - sassy is awesome. I hadn't thought about getting photogs to use my stuff, but it makes perfect sense! Still... mustn't get ahead of myself. I was going to do my friend's wedding next winter, but she's gone and got herself knocked up, so is postponing...
Maybe in the summer term I will take two classes a week... after all, I won't have a cdc to go to any more!

Today I would like to share with you my latest NSV - with increasing comfort, for the last couple of weeks I have been enjoying crossing my legs. Properly. Not at the ankles, but above the knee.
It's not quite effortless yet - but it makes me feel ladylike and sexy and i haven't been able to do it for about ten years!
Also - i'm into my second pair of new knee boots from Duo. The others, which are gorgeous, I bought in november (a bit tight) 5cm in the calf smaller than i was pre-diet. This pair are ostentiably 3cm smaller than that, but I smell a rat - because when they came last week i couldn't get them done up at all, despite having measured my calf carefully. I think these ones come up small. But I got them on this morning (your calves are slimmer in the mornings!) and am very pleased with them. Dark brown, slightly ruched, two and a half inch block heel (looks higher than that on my size 3 feet). And that's another thing. I'd have been in agony just walking to the car on heels this high not so long ago!

i have also been pleased to be able to cross my legs properly - it's not something i ever found comfy or natural and now i've found myself doing it on occasion without thinking!

The other thing I nearly let pass by is that today marks the end of six months on this insane diet.
Half a year of perfect choices. Half a year of freedom from guilt about food. Half a bloody year of feeling good about myself!
It has been horrible, obviously - not to have had so much as a glass of wine in all that time... but it has also been one of the happiest times of my life. I truly wish I had been ready to do it years ago.

i'll have to start a file for helpful links, cos i'll forget all this stuff when i come to use it.
what i did think though, once i've covered bouquets and other essentials, that i might do what my wedding photographer did. she was starting out and went on a wedding forum and offered to do some weddings for free, so that she could generate a portfolio. I couldn't do it for free cos flowers are effing expensive! but i could do it for cost and travel expenses. Do you think some brides (probably the less bridezilla-ish ones, doing things on a budget) might go for that?
