For balance, here is a much better "after" picture. This was taken about one month ago, and it is post tummy tuck. I'm guessing 174 lbs is my weight, because it hasn't fluctuated at all. I am at 173 lbs, FINALLY... not that a number really matters... there have been some great points made about that on recent blogs. I love how we can encourage each other to have more realisitc ways of thinking about weight verses size. Anyway, this is one of the "skinny" pieces of clothing I couldn't bring myself to ever give to charity because I felt like that would be a symbol of giving up hope. The dress is now outdated, but I still love it! And I can wear it without any problem. Hope becomes reality with a band. Just wanted to share that with you.
You look wonderful! I think that dress is rather cute. You could even get it shortened to update it maybe?
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely family photo! Flowery dresses are very in this year! You look great! I have a similar dress i keep for similar reasons. Though I have a LONG way to go before I fit in mine! Good job!
ReplyDeleteyou look gorgeous! I have a few skinny goal dresses in my closet too
ReplyDeleteYou look great! I don't think I have any clothes from way back when. I should've kept some. I've got plenty that I am THISCLOSE to getting into though and then that darned Athleta dress that I didn't realize ran so small! Maybe by years end.
ReplyDeleteAnyway...looking good!
Thanks for the comment on my blog. No, I didn't know that you lived in Omaha. I'm hoping to move there soon. My daughter lives there and attends UNO. I LOVE Papillion, its a GREAT place to raise a family.
Simply gorgeous.
