Remember how I went shopping about 2 months ago and found the PERFECT dress, but didn't buy it b/c of the financial constraints of losing my job? Remember how much that shopping experience made me cry because I finally saw that glimpse of my Thinner Self? Well... I went back... it was 40% off.... and I bought the dress!

And remember that new man in my life who is nothing less than amazing??? We've been out several times now and have enjoyed a little smoochy smoochy. He is my first real boyfriend in about 4 years. So Mr Wonderful called me Saturday and said he wanted to spend our "date" taking pictures of me so that I "could see myself the way that he sees me." I was like, "Uhhh... are you kidding???? SWOON!" So, here's my photo update:

Ahh, the painful "BEFORE" shots as a reminder of where I've been...

And today's celebration of my 6 Mos Surgiversary and my loss of 92 lbs! A few results of our photo date!

Thank you for sharing in my joy! I miss you all and apologize for not participating in the board nearly as much lately. (With losing my job, I can only get internet access at the library.) Hope you are all well and thriving!

Heather

I don't hardly recognize myself or my life anymore!

I gotta admit, that was a pretty cool idea - I give the guy props..BTW - I like the second pic the best - I like the hair style a lot and the together with the poses they all just scream confidence and sophistication without even looking like you're trying...oh, forget it, I'm sounding fruity again - how about you look hawt!

THANKS GUYS!!!! Isn't Mike (Mr. Wonderful) the best?? For him to notice how much I needed to believe in myself (without me saying a word) and to come up with this project is just stellar. OK boys, take some notes here 'cause this is one sure way to impress your woman!!

And sorry... his brothers are all married. Nyah nyah nyah, I nabbed the good one!
