The joys of weight loss continue
 

To echo Robin’s recent thread, I nearly broke down over the endless joy that comes from being slender and healthy. I just got an email from my mom – she found the garter she wore when she married my dad. My aunt Peggy also wore this garter at her wedding.

How wonderful to be at a healthy weight. There is no way the thigh attached to my 200lb body could have wiggled into a tiny garter worn by my size 4 mother.

I can’t tell you guys how happy I am to have this chance to wear something of my tiny little mother’s at my wedding. It’s fabulous and sentimental and makes me almost cry.

I promise to hike up my skirt and give you guys a great pic of that garter!!!

Can't wait to see the picture of you in your moms garter and that beautiful dress.
It is amazing how many wonderful things continue to come along that make the weight loss such a blessing. Every day something happens to make me grateful for the smaller me.

The endless joy - that's it. It's a constant, never ending stream of wonderful-ness! Literally not a day goes by where I am not taken aback at all the incredible things that being slim brings about.

What a fabulous feeling it's going to be wearing your mom's garter!
