I already posted this picture in the LWL thread, but I thought this warranted a repost in the mini-goal section here. I can’t remember ever getting dressed up for a special event and feeling good about the way I looked. I was always trying to find some garment I could hide in, and then I would try to make myself as invisible as possible at the event. Last Sunday my boyfriend had the honor of being the best man in his best fiend’s wedding, and I went as his date. I was a little nervous about pulling this dress off, as it is so not something I would have ever considered wearing before. But by the time we got to the reception I was socializing with people I didn’t know, dancing up a storm, and feeling great in general. A major confidence building experience I must say. Even though I would like to lose another 30 lbs and the scale has refused to budge for the last three months, I find I’m already enjoying the weight loss I’ve achieved quite a bit.

Here’s a picture of me and the handsome best man. He’s the best!

You look great!

Wow, you look absolutely fantastic -- and confident. And I must add: very well accessorized!

The dress is absolutely gorgeous on you and it shows!!! I bet you had the best time at the wedding knowing that you've lost weight and feel so much better. I think thats prolly why you had so much confidence, weddings can be difficult if you don't know many people. Thanks for sharing!!

You look great!!! It's great that you stepped out of your comfort zone and wore something that you wouldn't usually wear and had a great time, the dress looks great on you!!

That dress is adorable and you look great in it!! I'm so glad you had fun!!

Thanks everyone! I was pretty happy with how the outfit all came together. Ross and Target are my friends.
