Oh No, It doesn’t fit as I remembered

I’m starting to get frustrated because I have put on more pounds that I anticipated since teleworking.  I tried on my dress for an upcoming wedding and boy is it tight.  I guess I’ll have to go on a crash diet to be ready in two weeks.  I called my friend up, the mother of the groom to share my frustration and she said,  “forget the spanxs – be comfortable”.  I love her enthusiasm but I either have to pick a different gown or lose some weight.  The challenge is on.  Hope I can at least lose 5 pounds in 2 weeks.
