My Goal to wear a formal gown



Recommended Posts

Ok I was a heavy teenager and painfully shy. I never got asked to formal dances EVER. I was out shopping with my teenager sister last night who is preparing for her 5th formal dance since starting highschool (she is a senior). The dresses there were so gorgeous and I started really feeling sorry for myself for never having worn one. So I have found a new goal!!! When I get to my goal weight, I'm going to go to the ball at my university with my hubby (gee he'll love being dragged to that! lol) but I just want to recapture a bit of my youth and experience something I missed out on.

What do ya think???

Sounds like a good goal to me...

I expect that by my next wedding anniversary, I will be able to fit into my gown. That will be exciting. After 18 yrs - being able to fit back into that will be GREAT. I guess I will have to make my hubby take me someplace fantastic!

:]

Great goal! I actually can fit into my wedding dress now and its loose in the waist (not up top though)!!! I can understand I was always heavy and never went to a formal dance in school either. You can do it, and tell hubby to at least pretend like he enjoys it when it's time!!! LOL

I think that is a fabulous idea. I really miss my teenage years, especially high school. It was so darn fun renting tuxes, getting the dress, taking an hour and a half to get ready. Go to a nice dinner beforehand and rent a limo too. You will have a blast. YOu can do this!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
