So, this past week I fit into the outfit that my mom wore to my wedding! I wore it to work, felt beautiful, and got tons of "how much weight have you lost?" questions (which I wasn't expecting). I have a friend at work who is also trying to lose weight, so I had to show her the outfit. She immediately took her camera out and snapped a picture of me. She said, "Way to go, girl! Keep up the good work!"
This made all me feel so good for 3 reasons:
1) The outfit is a 16-18. I started at a size 22.
2) People are actually starting to notice my progress.
3) When my friend took the picture, I didn't care. I have hated being in pictures for a very long time, and I just stood there, smiled, and let her take the picture! Even more importantly; I don't hate the picture! Yay!
Here's a starting weight picture (hubby and I), and the one with my pretty outfit.
