9 years ago I got married.  My wedding dress was a size 28 and it barely fit.  I was wearing a girdle thing from my knees to my shoulders to suck in all the fat and make the dress fit.  I was so sucked in that day that I didn't even go pee from the time I put on the dress (noon****il I took it off at 9:30pm.  Tonight we were at my parent's house for Thanksgiving and my mom suggested I try on my wedding dress.  I have kept it stored at their house all these years.  I was terrified as I pulled it on because if it didn't fit, I would be crushed.  I was so shocked when I put it on, zipped it up and not only did it fit....it was falling off of me.  I cried.  It was a huge moment for me.  Now I think I will wear it out trick or treating with the kids!  LOL  It's big enough that I can get it on over my coat!  I'm not worried about wrecking it, maybe I will cover it in fake blood and be a "corpse bride".  Oh the possibilities! 
Well I am off to the hospital tomorrow to spend time with my grandma but for the most part this has been a great weekend.  Hope you all have had a wonderful Thanksgiving and that you can find at least one thing to be thankful for.  I know I have alot.

I bet you won't be so tempted by those pesky candies now!  Things like this are terrific motivators.
