Thumbs up I can wear my red dress!
Months ago I had bought a beautiful red dress that was supposed to fit me according to the label. I had bought this line of clothes before and the fit has always been accurate. Anyway shortly after buying it I couldn't even fit into it!!!! I was hysterical and knew my weight had gotten out of control. That was in June when I couldn't get my thighs into it. Yesterday I tried it on again. Not only could I get into it but it is now too big! I ran out and showed my husband and he and I both started pulling all the extra material and there was so much around my belly area. I was so happy and my husband kissed me and shortly after I found out that that dress comes off as easily as I put it on. ( ) I am starting to feel sexy again because I can now wear clothes that I could never wear but this beautiful little red dress is now too big but I am keeping it as a reminder of just how far I have truly came and will continue to go.

You go girl! Funny how an article of clothing can really put the kick start on the process, isn't it? For me it was a blue dress.

Definitely keep it as a reminder of how far you've come!

Hurray!

My "little red dress" was a black evening gown I wanted to be able to wear to a Christmas party this year...when it got time for the party, I had to go buy a new dress because the black one was too big as well. Funny thing, I ran out to show my husband too, and he was pretty enthusiastic as well. Funny how that happens...
