How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: I tried to do this, but got kind of bored with it towards the end. Overall, though, it gave me a fairly accurate view of what I was eating, which has allowed me to see where I've fallen short in my diet. Read how I did it…
It made me
happy 
How I did it: To simplify things, I took photographs of all my bookshelves (two photos per shelf) and saved them to my computer for reference. That way, I had the titles handy as I entered them into Goodreads. Read how I did it…

I can fit into my wedding dress. I was checking to see how many people have viewed my listing, looked at the measurements, and thought “no way…those sound like my measurements now.” So I tried it on. It’s a bit snug through the belly (which is full of cauliflower right now and thus a little puffy), but fits everywhere else.
(Also heavy as hell…if I do get married again, I’m not letting anyone talk me into dragging 5 lbs of fabric on the ground behind me.)
I’ve not been able to zip up the bodice, let alone button the skirt, in years. Time to put more effort into eating extra meals and building muscle mass.
