Default No longer the fat aunt
I have numerous nieces and nephews so I've attended multiple weddings over the last few years. Although the events were splendid, I always hated seeing the pictures and having to face the reality that I was the fat aunt.

Another niece got married today and I have to say it was pretty fantastic to actually love how I looked for the day. (Plus, I had boatloads of fun on the dance floor. )

Congrats. What a great feeling! I'm attending a family reunion in July and I can't wait to not be the fat aunt.

Since January 2013 I've lost 58 pounds....from 225 to 167. (Only 30 more to go! Yay!)

The short answer: A lot. The long answer: My highest weight ever, which I hit for a short time in 2005, was 273. (That's the weight I was at my oldest niece's wedding. ) I lost a good bit of weight in 2005/06 and then gained/lost the same 30ish pounds for several years. (I was generally about 240 pounds at the other weddings.)

Boy, can I relate! In fact, weddings in which I was FORCED into family photos are the only pics I have from recent years. I was still always fun aunt. Now that I'm "better", I was supposed to be "fun aunt on beach vacay" with my niece next month but it didn't work out. Still, it was nice to be wanted because I can do everything my much younger niece wanted to do and she knew I could keep up.

Thankies everyone!

By the by, the whole outfit was $10 at Goodwill - $5 for the dress, $3 for the shoes, $2 for the necklace. I love shopping at thrift stores.
