Wow! Moment for me!

I was told that I was pretty much at goal and was happy there wearing a size 10-14 depending on how it was made.. I was waiting for plastic surgery. Well, I got hurt at wrok in December and have not felt like eating anything. I knew I was losing weight and fast,but did not could not tell it anywhere. Last year I bought a dress that was on sale at a boutique. It was a $850 dollar emerald green sequined gown in a size 9/10 junior it was marked down to $25 I thought Wow! what a buy! so I bought it on a whim. I had hopes of some day squeezing into it AFTER plastics to wear on a cruise. My Mom who has been yelling at me for mot eating asked me to go get it and try it on. I laughed at her and thought she was nuts. It FIT! That does not even make any sense to me. I had to be BORN that size. It is a very sexy little thing slit to the hip and halter topped. I don't know who that girl is who was wearing it in the mirror. It couldn't be me! She looks sophisticated and pretty and all grown up and I know I'll never be as sure of myself as she looks. Does your head ever catch up with your body? When I looked at the Christmas family pictures, I was upset that noone had even taken any pics of me with my kids. Stupid me! I was in most of them I did not recognize my own pitures. I think I need some serious therapy!

Congratulations on the new you! Your head will catch up eventually! We don't spend as much time actually looking at ourselves as others do, so it takes longer to change our self image. I have the same problem with pictures, and especially video! Two years has gone by quickly, hasn't it! Joy

Crystal, I just looked at your before pic and WOW am I impressed. You've done such an amazing job. Did the woman on that picnic bench ever dream she'd be in a size 9/10 junior dress? Congratulations!!! Connie

The girl on that bench would have fell off laughing and broke a hip if yu had suggested it! I should probably get a new pic in. I am so lousy at it though!

You go girl! Can I borrow the dress sometime for one of my gigs??? Can't wait to see a picture! Love, Maureen

I just told Reenie I think I need to put in a new pic. I'll see if my DH will get one for me. Thanks guys!

Hey Crystal; Aren't those "WOW" moments a blast???!!!!!!!! I don't get them as often as I once did, but they are always a load of fun!! Congratulations, you are doing great! Mike

Wow Crystal! You just have come such a long long way. I am so impressed with how well you've done. And what a hoot about not recognizing yourself in the pictures! I also was pretty pissed about the same thing with me, only with me, there *were* no pictures taken with me in them. Oh well!!! Dina
