I have to tell you about my new diet.

I need to eat more fat. My wedding dress fits well to small. The back laces up, which means if I lose a few pounds, the back gets fugly.

So, yeah. Fat.

I'm doing miserably so far. I think I'm consuming too much salt or something, which makes me not want to eat other stuff. Yesterday I bought a crapload of ice cream, and I haven't even cracked it open. I meant toeat bacon for breakfast today, but I forgot. I forgot bacon! What has my life come to!

My final dress fitting is probably this week, which means I binge until Friday, at which point I'm hopefully filling out my corset a little better. If I've put on a few pounds by then, I can cut out some of the cream and butter and stuff, and just make sure I eat a few more calories than I consume for a couple of weeks.

And then I have to crash diet to fit into my teeny-tiny trousseau.

This is probably the most self-indulgent entry I've ever written. Self-indulgent on multiple levels, yet!

I will end with the following plea: Send me ideas for high-carb, high calorie snacks. I don't want to gorge on meat and eggs only to find that I've accidentally put myself on the Atkins diet.

What I'm wearing: Pink dress.

What I'm reading: The Tiffany's Catalogue

What I'm doing after this: Getting ready for bed.
