So I am 17 months out, holding kind of steady (been losing again lately), been at goal now for almost a YEAR (that seems so crazy to me!). So today I went to pick up a dress for a Sandy benefit that I am going to with my girlfriends at a local club, the sales woman at the store was helping me, bringing me dresses she thought would be flattering. I just kept looking at them and thinking "NO way, is that going to look good on me" and I told her so. She looked me right in the face and said "you are so TINY, you would look great in anything, try this on!", wait WHAT? Tiny? Me? It's crazy to me that I still struggle with this, but I do and I share it because I know there are others who feel the same way, and it's nice to know you aren't alone.

So I put on a dress that I would have never tried on in a million years, and I was floored at what I saw in the mirror,  I looked amazing and I just started to cry, so yeah, even this far out it's still an emotional roller coaster but its one I would ride every day b/c its fantastic in the end.

Here is the dress I bought (a size 4!!), I am excited to wear it out, another NSV this far out  -

You are one hot mama!

 

BTW, I named him Javier Colin Firth Robert Downey Jr. But I call him Lance. I'm looking into T-shirts.

Oh.My. God. I can make a T-shirt...

The original artist lets anyone use his artwork for free - he just asks that no one makes money of his work.

I can make a custom t-shirt for $21.

I'm hyperventilating here. Should I make it?? I will seriously wear Lance everywhere.
