WHMP: 15 July 2017
Tonight Jamie and I had a rare and treasured night off. We head off at about 10:30 AM towards Mildura for a mini getaway.
Before we left I asked Mum to take up address that she had had at her house so I could wear it out on our date night tonight. I tried it on and will frankly I wasn’t wearing anywhere as it resembled a black circus tent on me.
When we got to Mildura my first stop was target to find something nice to wear on date night. To my complete shock and disbelief I bought myself a gorgeous fit and flare dress from the ‘normal’ size section. Admittedly it was a little snug with the pleats not sitting right and way tighter than I am used to and it was a flattering cut BUT it was not from the plus size section.
I have been wearing plus sizes my entire adult life.
We got some Laksa for lunch and head back to the hotel room to have. Soup is my go-to order out but today it was an epic fail. Our romantic night away started with me sitting on the bathroom floor inspecting the toilet bowl. Once I had a lay down I recovered pretty quickly.
We then went out for dinner. It’s hard to order when out in small portions as most entrees and starters are heavily carb loaded so I ordered a lamb burger and deconstructed it.
My efforts were dismal but Jamie enjoyed my left overs.
When we finished we went on our own mini pub crawl walking between venues. In the process of walking slightly over 5km (in heels) I re-introduced alcohol for the first time since surgery and had a few vodka, lime and sodas.
It was lovely to get dressed up and have some time out just the two of us wearing my new NORMAL sized dress!
