Night out on the town - in a dress (size medium! Woot Woot!) Photo, of course.

Drew Carey was at a comedy club here and town and I decided to dress up. This dress is a freaking size MEDIUM. Not a 5X or a 6X. So weird seeing that tiny thing on a hanger knowing it fits my body!

It's super cute. I even wore low heels (hubby is a boob man, but he was all "holy crap, you have legs "up to there") LOL! Anyway, I felt really self conscious at first. I just do NOT wear dresses, much less ones above the knee. And, of course, the yards of skin around my middle make me a little self conscious as well. But I was able to push myself out the door and eventually just figured "who cares, it's my body and it is what it is". We had a great time out with friends and dinner after.

Wow. You look gorgeous. Love the dress

You are one hot mama! Love the dress and the big smiles. Glad you had fun. 

Looks very natural........

Welcome to your life.......

You're a guy, so I dunno if you'll get this... but do you ever fully feel natural? I had a complete and utter meltdown, internally, before leaving. I mean, I was in a freaking short (for me) dress. I mostly recognize myself now, but I still see that bulging skin and yeah. Just a freak out.

Blergh. At least I got over before we left and decided to just get over myself.

This **** is hard. Getting to goal was supposed to be magic where all this stuff is easy. No? Damn. ;)

A guy.... yes...

But one that works in advertising and visual comunications....

I can't tell you what you feel inside.... but the outside looks very natural.....

I'm thinking "in general" the insecurities are not so much different as one may think......

- did I feel like a grossly obese freak....yes..... 

- do I feel comfortable in my own skin(s)..... no

- do I choose clothes that hide my flaws....yes

- I got many more.......

Yes, this **** is hard...... but I'd rather be in a position to be of a reasonable weight., and fix a few issues...... than be fat again.....

I didn't know that was your line of work! I work in Visual Communications too!

Oh, I hope you didn't think I was saying you wouldn't understand, but sometimes I feel like "such a girl" when it comes to stuff like that. I dunno. I never see my husband freak out because his shoes don't match, ya know? LOL!

Thanks, it helps to hear someone, who while loves me also doesn't mind telling the truth, say I look natural and normal. There are definitely days where I feel like one big melted freak. LOL :)

Love you. xoxo

Candy you rock girl! Your one of my favorites that I follow here on the boards! I think you guys look great & the dress is awesome.

You are beautiful, inside and out. :)
