Rocked a size 20 dress!

[tiggergramma 129]

I had a Board celebration to attend last night (we just completed a $1.2 million fundraiser to renovate the stage in the theater I am Board president of) and was going through my closet in some frustration yesterday morning. They've seen this, they've seen that, they've seen that one a hundred times...Then, at the very back of the closet, was a black sheath with a floral jacket that I hadn't worn in over 10 years! I didn't know I even still had the thing! It was my favorite dress for a long time, and I used to wear it when I was this weight before, so....maybe....

I tried on the jacket, and voila! It fit! I was so excited all day, I could hardly wait to get dressed up for the fete! I have to attend 2 or 3 very dressy events each year for this theater, and I have never felt "pretty" even though I'm dressed to the nines. Last night, I felt pretty and the compliments were just rolling in!

This morning I feel like I could go shopping...and I HATE shopping!

Thank you for sharing your story! I hate shopping also, I don't think that will change with my size...only think I like to shop for is jewelry and not the costume kind

Way to go. Now you get to look forward to it not fitting you again, just in the other direction.
