Pictures of those creapee arms

The arms is not the problem, babeeeeeeeeee... the first dress is. First, I think you are not a size 10, so the dress doesn't have the perfect fit. The second dress is HAWT smoking! Can I borrow it? Miss ya!

Hey Lia Babeeee....  you're right about the brown dress.  It makes me look fat, but I am a size 10.  Pretty consistently, the green dress is a 10.  Girl and you'd probably swim in it but you can certainly borrow it any time.  I miss you too!  I'm glad to see you're here.  I wondered about you.  How are you doing and how is your DH?

LOOK AT YOU!

You look great in either dress! I have those arms too but seeing them on you make me realize we are beautiful just the way we are and should be proud of what we been through. I think we are our own worst enemiy and most people are not going to care about our arms....but us.

One of my favorite quotes is from Hannibal Lecter (of all people :} ) 

Our scars remind us that the past was real.

Thanks Melissa. 

You know, I was trying on shoes at Macy's the other day.  This one pair, they were great shoes, red, 4 inch heels.  I wanted them so bad, but they were also platform and I just felt pinched in them and tottering.  But there was a young woman about 28-30ish and she too was trying the same shoes.  She said she was to old for 4 inch heels.  I thought, man, am I way off base, cap sleeves, 4 inch heels, who do I think I'm trying to be???  I guess I am trying to make up for many decades of lost opportunites to dress like my peers.  I'm still thinking about the cap sleeves.

 U know I have TOTALLY the opposite philosophy .... if it looks good WEAR it lol .... of course I don't have  a buncha half grown rug rats saying Mom , ure so EMBARASSING either ...lol....or a jealous hubby ....but still.  

I guess for me it s all about stimulation and new horizons through fashion ...if i dont get a charge out of it  then I might as well eat ....  

yep , Im a big kid ... but fashion s really a big delicious candy store isn't it ?  

I love the third photo with the long sleeves.  Not necessarily because of your arms but the dress itself shows off your curves.  Looks really good on you.

Looking hot!
But I have to say the bottom dress is the showstopper!
I cant believe how good your biceps look in the top dress where you are holding the camera!

I hope I look half as good as you do a year from now!  I think your arms look fine but you are the one who has to feel comfortable to carry the confidence.  The 3rd dress is FABULOUS.  

I took Ava's advice about the salicylic acid (found it at Target and the price was not bad).  I got the scrub in a tube and put one in my hubby's shower, too.  I can tell a difference in both of us. (Can't believe I actually got Mr. Macho to use it but the blackheads he had around the corners of his eyes are disappearing FAST).  Must be careful not to get too near the eyes, though.

Sorry to ramble, but I love all the help and advice I find here.

Blessings,

If you had not mentioned the issue... I would not have noticed.
You may as well be comfortable... wear the long sleeve dress and you will look great and will not be self concious of your arms.

I know how you feel, my arms are always what I notice the most. Feel good and wear either dress proud of your weight loss!
