At one point, that skirt was TOO SMALL for me. In the second picture, my oldest daughter is inside of it with me and we could button and zip it. By the way, on the refrigerator behind me are my “motivational” post-it notes (some state goals I’m looking forward to experiencing, such as “seeing my collar bone” [check!] and some state reasons I want to lose the weight. There are also pictures of me before I gained so much weight, and one picture of me after gaining it. I’ve really been encouraged by having that on the fridge, where I can see it every day.
