This so-called diet is actually working?!

Remember this?

I ordered a few items of clothing online, in the hope of being able to wear them on the Yamim Noraim/High Holidays. Boy, was I surprised when they arrived last night: Both the size-medium belt and the size-12 full skirt are at least an inch too big in the waist! I'm going to have to place two new orders (the belt's from L.L. Bean, the skirt's from Appleseed's) tonight for smaller versions and worry about sending the originals back later for refunds later, if I have any hope of receiving either item before Rosh HaShanah.
