My last fat Halloween!

[Kellster 1]

:rolleyes2: So I went out last night and had a rip-roaring good time, I just love Halloween and dressing up! I was a pirate, which I've been for the past few years (what can I say - it's a fun costume and it fits). And when I was out laughing and dancing and having fun I stopped for a moment and thought - "Whoa!!! This will be my last fat Halloween!!" Of course I shared with my friends and we all celebrated. Next year at this time I will have been banded for about six months and will be rockin along in my new healthy body.

Ahhhhhh, I can't wait! No more having to go to a special store or website just to find a costume that fits me. No more figuring out how I can cover my problem spots while still enhancing the good spots. And honestly - I can't wait for all the positive attention! Oh and all of the different costumes that are possible!

Anyway - just had to share. Your Halloween stories and experiences are welcome here!

I had those exact same feelings last Halloween. I dressed as Mimi from Drew Carey and my brother dressed as Drew. We looked pretty amazing, but I vowed to be something pretty in 08 because I was sick of having to figure out a "fat" costume.

This year I was Marie Antionette. It was so fun and after we all changed into our regular clothes, I even danced (something I would never have done when I was heavy). What a blast. Next year, I'm thinking of dressing as a flapper!

Glad you had a great Halloween and I'm excited for you for next Halloween!
