OT:The most beautiful dress in the universe

Heck, who needs a gala to show that dress off? We would be happy with a blurry self-photo of you in the bathroom mirror!!!! PS--get some great earrings to match the persimmon (ah, yes, still another excuse to get out there and hit the malls!) Hope the opportunity to wear it comes up quickly!

Shopping is so much fun now.  I know it sounds shallow, but I don't care, it just makes my day to find beautiful clothes that fit my body now.  I looked at the picture of the model wearing the dress on the store website, and I thought that I looked better in it.  Now that is one huge change for me.  I almost giggled out loud at my own thoughts.  Who would have ever believed that I would be living this dream out in real life.

Honey you work hard for that figure so if you sound shallow so what!
We get it and can celebrate with you! Others don't understand but we get it!

Being obese can feel like your trapped in a prison of your own body. It feels wonderful to see beautiful clothes and imagine yourself in them.

Just this weekend I was looking through Marie Claire magazine, it dawned in me that at a size 0/2 I can wear every outfit in that magazine. The thought really floored me. I told hubby but he just gave me one of those um hums-like not really listening!

I totally get that.  To me it feels like my personal fairytale has come true.  How many people have dreams and fantasies about being able to look a certain way or dress a certain way, and have this dream really come to life?  It still floors me when I go shopping and everything fits. Sometimes, I get teary eyed in the dressing room, and this is three years later.  I think many people just can't relate to this feeling, but I know you guys can so I feel safe sharing it here.  Thank you.

I hear ya!!!  God help me when I get to goal!!!  Shop till I drop!!!!!

I totally know what you mean when you say you thought you looked better than the model.  You probably do.  Back in my 20's I was very thin and very muscular.  I DID look better than the models.  I use to compare myself all the time and it was true.  They were thin, but they were not nearly as toned as I was, and I was just as thin!  I might have to dig up some pictures.  I wasn't really vain, I just noticed it, and it was a fact!

Totally agree with you, Bunnymom! 

Elina, put that dress on, get in front of the mirror and whip out your cell phone camera!

You go girl!

 
I just got a new Harley vented Summer Jacket that I got excited about, for about 15 minutes....just long enough to buy it!..... Might be one of those things I bought cause it fit things......

I guess the plus here is that I don't need Hoop ear rings and Gold Heels to go with it !!!!

"Were" gonna need....front, back, side, 3/4 and one where your working the girl lines by pushing a little hip out a little...... and never cut the feet/shoes off of full lengths.......

That's All !

That would be my dream!  You name the time and the place and I am there with bells on, OK, no bells, just hoops and heels.  I can't wait to see your jacket, I bet you're smoking in it.  I also picked up a little 50's number that would give Jenn a heart-attack!  Can't wait to see her expression when I come to group wearing that little number.  I should probably warn her beforehand so she can go all retro on me too.  This skinny life is fun.
