Oh my goodness. I went to a black tie event with DH. I took out a silk pant suit to wear that I always take on my cruises for informal night, I couldn't fasten the pants.........!!!! I had to wear something else, black, of course, for slimming purposes. I'm eleven pounds heavier than when I went on my Alaska cruise in 08/04. None of my night-time cruise wear fits. I immediately went out for a one hour walk yesterday and ate nothing after 6:30pm. I'm cruising in 10 weeks. If I can just lose six, I can squeeze back into them, so here goes.
