Lol I know, it really has completely turned into a corset thread. But the OP did mention she would be interested in bringing her ribs in slightly, so I'm sure this helped her learn more about how to do that.

I've been wondering when this was going to branch off into its own thread. Lol When the corset thread goes up, I'm definitely going to be posting my progress throughout! I hate that there's hardly any corset progress photos online, so I think it'll be helpful for others who are looking to get into it as well.

I woke up this morning angry about my colour choice again...then found some shirts that it would go really well with (a lot of my shirts are black and red or black and blue luckily), but then I also realized that most of my shirts wouldn't go with a corset no matter what colour I chose. :/ Guess I really do need to go shopping...(I know when the corset gets here, I'll be so excited about how gorgeous it is, I won't even be able to be mad about the colour or price difference anymore! Lol)

Once it ships out, I'm going to obsessively check the tracking everyday. xD

Oh, and I was dieting to help slim my waist in time for the beach Saturday, but I was worried it was taking away the butt I've been working so hard for (although my growth came back). Well, I guess I've been dieting for so long now (almost two weeks) that I've completely killed my appetite. I'm barely hungry anymore. I guess that's good, because I'm less bloated now and food isn't going as fast, but I'm also trying to build more muscle, and a poor diet isn't good for that at all. :/

At vitamin Shoppe, the girl suggested Digest Extra to help with bloating and digestion. It says to take one with each meal, but since she eats small meals, she only takes it once a day and is fine. I really hope along with my Probiotics that these work wonders. It helps your body break down dairy and gluten, and I'm thinking one of these may be my problem with bloating (since I lost an inch of bloat just from eating less with my diet). I'll never go gluten or dairy-free, but with these maybe I'll be ok if that does turn out to be my problem.

Haha at the corset rollercoaster. Jeeeesh do I know EXACTLY what that's like! Except not with a corset. Yet. I went through it when I bought a swimsuit that was absolutely perfect for me. And then realized I really didn't have the money I'd just spent. And I'd have to, like, wear it in public to get it's intended use out of it. Then I was like, screw it, the swimsuit is awesomesauce! Then I was like, but in public... Then I was like screw em. If they don't like it, they can leave the danged pool, I'm the pool manager dammit.

I'm not anymore... And I don't have access to a pool anymore... but the swimsuit did end up getting used this summer.

As for the diet so long you lose your appetite... That's normal. And it's not really a lost appetite so much as a diminished ability to digest food after being on a starvation diet for even a short time. You generally need to ramp back up slowly. Or... The combination in that Digest Extra is pretty awesome! I'm glad you have a health food place near you that actually knows their business. The ones by me are more into the whole homeopathy shenanigans. So I tend to order my stuff from Swanson. They're into homeopathy shenanigans too, but they also do know their business over on the real side of things. They've been in the REAL business a lot longer than most. They just joined the homeopathy bandwagon so as not to lose that set of customers from their base to the idiots that overhype the junk.
