Day 7: Bikinis and Bridesmaids Dresses

January 7th, 2008 · No Comments

Just when I think I’m doing well on my diet and exercise program, and peace begins to set in, life has to kick me in the ass – I should have known it.

First, my boyfriend tells me he might be taking a business trip to Miami in March and he wants me to come along. At least in New England I can hide under sweaters and thermal pants six months of the year – but Miami, that requires at least a sundress. Not to mention all the Miami-bred swimsuit models and perfect 20-year-old spring-breakers saturating the landscape. Ugh. And only two months away….

Of course, life couldn’t stop at a kick in just one ass cheek – it had to kick the other one as well. Just hours later, I got a phone call from one of my girlfriends – she’s getting married in August and wants me to be a bridesmaid. Naturally, I am honored by her kind request – she is after all, a dear friend. Nonetheless, the idea of going with her to David’s Bridal next weekend to try on dresses has me cringing, with two words replaying over and over again in my mind – BACK FAT.
