I seriously can't believe it.
I'm moving across the country soon so I decided to try to sale some things online. I put an ad on Craigslist for a bridesmaid dress I wore for a good friend's wedding a few years ago. I get an email from a girl saying she loves it and would like to come try it on.
So she shows up with her mom, she's about my height, maybe a little taller, and as soon as she walks in the door I think to myself, "Oh my gosh, there is no way it's going to fit her, she's going to be so embarrassed when she can't fit in it and has to leave empty handed." They go in the bedroom so her mom can zip it for her, and she comes back out smiling and says her daughter wants to know if I want to see. So I go in, and it fits her, maybe a bit tighter than it did me, but she turns around and it's completely zipped and she looked lovely. She was so excited and telling me about how it's for prom and she loves it. I was so happy for her.
After they left I remembered how I thought it would never fit her because of her size and then it hits me that obviously I was that big at one point. It was really a big wow moment for me. I think even at my heaviest I never really realized how big I'd gotten. When I look back at pictures I hardly recognize myself sometimes.
Of course the night before I put the dress on just for the heck of it and it made me completely giddy that it wouldn't even stay up over my chest without me holding it. =) My wedding dress too, I was holding it up looking in the mirror at all the loose fabric, and it's amazing to think that 6 years ago it fit with little room to spare.
