First dress in 40 years!

Okay, I hope I'm not being too boastful, but I wanted to share another WOW moment with you. For 40 years, I have been so ashamed of my weight that I have refused to wear short skirts or dresses. Everything I wore had to cover the entire leg. Most of the time, I wore pants. Well... the other day, I tried on a street length dress and......... bought it! OMG! I look okay in it and feel so feminine. It's been so long since I felt like that. I used to wear a size 22 dress, ankle length, of course. The dress I just bought is a size .......6. Again, I have to tell you how grateful I am for this surgery. It's the best thing I have ever done for myself! I will post a picture of me in the dress soon. Thanks for reading! Joy

Joy that is so awsome. I feel the same way about dresses. I hate the tummy thing.

Thanks, Kally. I think I'll wear it this Sunday. Hope you can make it! Joy

Now that is worth getting up early for. I was planning on being there anyways. Way to go Joy!! Patty

Joy, Definately wear it Sunday!!! Me? I'm coming in black slacks, black t with a pattern and black Jerry Garcia stilletto heel black boots with pointed toes and two black buckles on each boot LOL. Biker Mama style LOL. See you tomorrow!

You are going to SIZZLE, girl!!! Later gator!

Joy, Can't wait to see the picture of you in the dress. I cannot wait until I feel comfortable in a dress and buy one. I often think how glad I am that women no longer have to wear dresses because I would hate that, with my weight. I am down 131.5 pounds and think about trying one on but I can't bring myself to do it yet. Now if it were a size 6, you bet I would do it! Great WOW moment for you. Julia

Thanks Julia! WOW!! 131.5 pounds? Good going, girl! You should be very proud of yourself! Just try something on that you have avoided in the past. Who knows? You may be surprised! Joy

A single digit ! Did you ever think you'd be wearing a single digit ?? You look great and you deserve to wear that dress with pride ! Gail

Oh Gail! I really appreciate your kind words! No, I never imagined wearing a single digit size. Even as a teenager I was a 12. This has been an amazing journey. Thanks! Joy
