It's Friday, Let's Have Some Fun! That 1 clothing item!

For me I was the queen of hiding from cameras. My DH and I were on a cruise and he got me. When I was going through the photos I was horrified (yes the right word was used). I swear I didn't realize I was that big. That red short outfit haunts me and inspires me to this day. If you are starting out what is the one outfit you will keep? What one outfit will following you and inspire you to NEVER GO BACK! Here is mine....

OMG Kathy - amazing!

(Un)fortunately, most of my "before" pictures were lost in a fire last year, so I have nothing to share. I do remember one picture where I looked like a bus I was so big. Ugh! So, so glad and thankful for WLS - it has changed my life.

Hi Mary,

I am so sorry to hear about the fire. I can't imagine as I am a pack rat and it was hard enough to down size when we moved. When we moved from IL to CA I lost that red short outfit otherwise I would have kept it Forever!

Enjoy the new you, you deserve all things happy

I got rid of everything. Except the one dress I love. I am going to have it sized to fit me. I couldn't get rid of it. It was one of the cheapest dresses ever.

This is me now in it.

OMGosh look at your beautiful self! I love it and the idea of getting the dressed altered. Congratulations on weight loss and being you!

You're adorable, but give up the dress. In general, nothing can be altered more than about two sizes downward because all detail will be lost. In the case of your summer dress, the bra cups would end up equidistant from your boobs and your shoulder blades! Go shopping. You'll find similar dresses.

You can tell I don't sew. Maybe she can have something made from it, pillows?

Kathy, as my closest friend would say, "You fresh." (Keep it up!)

I think you look beautiful no matter what. It is hard to see pictures of yourself in the before pictures. I know I have to keep it in my mind.

I have one on my phone and I will look at it to remind me sometimes. Not dwell on it. Just remember were I was before.

I think that is a great idea and motivation. When I was losing I kept an 8 x 10 on my fridge then I took a photo of after and to this day have the before and after on my dresser. When I hit goal and do my take 2 I will post it
