NSV! Waahoo!!

Soooooo, Last night I realized that I had NO clean clothes for work this week. I rent and unfortunatley there is no washer and dryer to run a do a quick load. Laundry-mats close early on Sundays so naturally I was freaking out. Then it dawned on me..."Lauren you are a pack rat and REFUSE to throw anything out, take a look around your closet" And Low and Behold, ALL of the clothes that I bought two and a half years ago right after my wedding, FIT, and some are even too big!!!!!

So just for the heck of it I said, hmmmm now the wedding gown. I bought this gown about 8 months before the wedding and it fit like a glove. Well apparently it was because of stress and I wasn't eating right and dropped about 30 pounds. Well then things started too even off and then 2 months before the wedding I couldn't even zipper it half way. On the day of my wedding, I had to wear a corset that was so tight I could barely breath. I couldn't eat (I Thought it might pop). I could barely dance, or sit down. But without the corset I would have made my vows in a sweat suit. Anyway, last night, dress went on, dress zipped all the way up (Without any help might I add!) and I had about 2 inches of room to play with and the straps were all floppy!!!

I had to share that!!

Woo hoo congrats! Its always exciting to go shopping in your own closet! When I had surgery I had a box of clothes all the way down to a size 14/XL range.... at surgery time I was a 26 pant 22/24 top... needless to say I was shopping in my own closet for a loooooong time - it was awesome!

Wow, Great NSVS! I bet the feels awesome, I hope I never fit in my weddign dress ever again.  Do you feel the same? lol

I absolutley feel the same. I told hubby I might sell it and he said, Well what if you have a daughter, wouldn't you want her to wear your dress. And I said, "I HOPE TO ALL THATS HOLY AND SACRED THAT SHE WILL NEVER FIT IN a GOWN THAT SIZE"

I said the exact same thing to my husband

ROFLMAO Oh my god that is funny.  First, good on ya for your success!!!  Second, I too was in an unbearable corset for my wedding.  I had these angry red welts all over my torso when I finally took it off.  Everyone was so nice saying I was so beautiful, etc, and I just felt like a big, poofy, gasping fool.  I have not even LOOKED at my dress since that day.  Should be funny to try it on in 6 months! I can't wait to shop in my closet!

What a great NSV! Congrats!

That's wonderful!!!!  Whooop whooop!
