About a month ago, I started on a diet. I'm not doing anything fancy, just following the basic principle that if you consume less calories in a day then you burn, you're good to go. I don't look at fat content or worry about carbs. So far I've lost at least 4 pounds. To help me along, Philip has been bribing me with little goals. For instance, he bought me this dress I really like that I ought to be able to wear when I'm around size 14.

But the goal at the end of the tunnel? Dressing up as Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket! I've already got the navy knee-highs and I've hopefully won an auction for the summer version of Tohru's school uniform! Now I just need the shoes. I found some that would have been 100% perfect if they had been brown instead of black. It gives me something to keep my eyes open for though while I'm out in town.

Of course, it makes me wonder who is going to enjoy the day when I can wear a Japanese medium (aka small) more... I'll finally be thin, but I'll be dressed up like a high school girl!
