Expanding body UGH

I havent tried on my costume that I wore in Georgia since I left GA, and it being the only one I have at the moment, I'm seriously trying to diet because I've gained a lot of weight since June due to new meds, and then being on steroids for a pretty bad allergic reaction to the Nicotine patch- yes folks- I was trying to quit smoking! So far I'm unsuccessful- Its proving to be very difficult to try and quit smoking at the same time as losing weight. /sigh

Being that my costume was store bought at the festival here in Tuxedo- I believe it is unalterable. What to do? I can still wear the chemise and hoop- but what am I gonna do about a dress? /cry I guess I might have to look and see when Tuxedo is on again and see about popping over for a visit- (maybe run some ideas about HoEF visiting this festival here past the director of this festival) and take a look at a new dress. My only other option is to buy online- which will be very difficult the way these dresses are sized.

I'm still trying hard on the losing weight thing though- trying to make that work. I hate the idea of having to spend another $400 on another dress just cause I got fat.

waiting impatiently for festival to start, and yet needing more time to lose some weight so i can wear my costume--
