you made me laugh, its sounds so like me. im a dressmaker and hate making all the beautiful gowns for all the skinny ladies i work for. i would love to wear any thing that has shape. i had my band july 08 and have lost 28 kgs. sometimes i hold the dresses up in front of me and try to imagine what i would look like but its very hard to imagine. It usually makes me more depressed that it wouldnt look good now even if i could get into them. flab city!
