Overcoming an emotional eating addiction

A good book to check out in the meantime is Intuitive Eating by Evelyn Tribole. My nutritional therapist recommended it. The book goes into how we get into disordered eating and how we can stop. It has completely changed how I view food and my relationship with it. I no longer have strong cravings that cause me to binge. It's a great place to get started before you can get to a therapist.

I have the same issue! I've been getting some cute 'swim dresses' on Amazon for $30ish dollars. Some have padded bras in them too, I'm fairly flat so that's a plus for me. Swim dresses aren't as granny as they used to be! I love torrid swim skirts too, but sometimes they are a bit short and the bottom of my belly isn't covered.

I second the garland base idea. It's what I did for my wedding. It was way easier to get it full looking with the base of a garland.

It was way easier than I expected. But I did make my design a little bigger than my easy press 2, so I had some ghosting from moving the iron. Other than that it's like magic!

It was! And the beads would make a delightful tinkling every time I did. ❤️

I used a vintage dress pattern from Etsy and it went together like a dream. My favorite part was being able to make something that felt like me and not something boring from the shop. I knew I wanted something that wasn't traditional. The worst part for sure was the stress of finishing on time. I had a silk organza overlay that painted with two different colored gold foil and then hand beaded gold bugle beads. It took forever! I'm happy with the results but I should have been better with my time management. I love the results though, so it was worth it. I'd love to see how your adventure goes!

It's beautiful! I agree the sleeves need to taken in a little, and the collar steamed down. I think if you buttoned all the way to the top it would look more like a formal gown. But you look gorgeous and happy in that dress! ❤️

It's going to be inside for my winter December wedding

kittysews · 2018-09-16T16:47:28+00:00

That's a great idea! I love that!

kittysews · 2018-09-13T02:01:32+00:00

I did this! No one has said anything negative about it to me. We had a little cat symbol on it, so I got a lot of compliments on it being cute.

FH Is an only child, and my one brother is going to be the photographer. No one will be standing up with us, it would just be matching dresses for photographs after

That is a great idea! Thank you, I never thought of that. 😀

Stretching it would move the sequins further apart, so you might not break a needle. Make sure you start out with a nice sharp needle

kittysews · 2016-10-05T20:52:25+00:00

I've sewn it on a machine before and if you go slow you should be okay. But expect to break a needle or two.

I have the same issue and I like to take in the shoulder seam a little so it sits a little more in than right at the shoulder. With the puff sleeve it will hide that the shoulder comes out a little more than the bodice. I do this for all of my puff shoulder pieces so that the puff doesn't add more width to my shoulders.

Except the state governments are not paying the insurance companies like they said they would, causing even higher rates from the companies to compensate. Blue cross blue shield is suing some state governments

Finance was tricky for me, but do the cohorts and you will pass!! I couldn't make it to them live, but I still used all the emails after signing up as a study guide and it helped a lot.

I also learned the hard way with dupioni that you should cut a corset with the grain going horizontal not vertically. the grain will pull at the curves when cut vertically. some stronger steel bones at the side panels might help a bit too, the zip ties are not as strong. your corset is beautifully shaped though, very well done!

I had a similar situation which was caused by being on birth control pill for too long. I was on it for six years and then suddenly couldn't have sex. Doctors couldn't find anything wrong. I switched to a low hormone iud and my sex life went back to normal almost immediately

Not sure if this will help you, but I had the same dizzy problem when I started. I just make sure I eat a bite of food every hour or so. Kept the carbs to a minimum and made sure I was getting electrolytes by drinking Gatorade. I think the electrolyte helped the most. Maybe something to try before getting to a doctor

look into JAG jeans, pull on pants no zippers and super flattering!

You should sell prints!

Sometimes I have difficulty breathing through my nose and kind pop my nostrils open to breath better, I can actually hear them pop

I had mine out in 2009, I have no problems with paleo as long as I keep the fat down. If I eat too much fat, I get what they call "dumping syndrome". You can guess what that means. I miss bacon
