Bariatric Fashion Show

Apr 06, 2011

Sunday, April 3, 2011 was my fashion show.  I felt so beautiful in my outfit and was so nervous getting ready.  I had 32 people show up to support me in the show.  As I waited backstage in the line of models, I kept going over the journey I've been on.  I have really came a long way and am a success story.  I have so much to be thankful for and proud of.  I have dedicated myself to  a healthier life and focused on changing my bad habits to a lifestyle of healthy eating and exercise.  I was the 4th model and the closer I got to my turn, the more nervous I got. I was literally shaking on the inside!  My heart felt like it was in my throat!  When I heard my husband reading my story, I thought I could buckle under my knees.  Then when I went out and down the catwalk, it was like I was dreaming.  It was funny because when I was done, I walked right past my husband and didn't even know he was standing there waiting on me because I was so nervous and in shock LOL.  He just laughed at me and walked up to me LOL.  I sooooo enjoyed this moment.  I had the most people there screaming for me and cheering me on. I walked down to "Brick House" by the Commodores.  My husband picked the song out.  He says it soooo fits me LOL.  My 5 1/2 year old son, Joshua, asked my husband "Daddy, did mommy win?" and my husband said, "What do you mean?" and Joshua said, "You know, like on the Biggest Loser, did mommy lose the most weight?  I bet she did!" LOL that made my day!  Anyway, this was the best day I have had ever!  I felt like a prom queen :)
