I think we all have that one piece of clothing we wanted to get into when losing weight. FOR ME, its a prom dress! Through high school I was 170-200 lbs. At 16 I set around 180 lbs. My Mom said she would buy me any dress I wanted for prom, but the one catch was that it had to be one size smaller than I currently was. So my mom bought me this $500, gold, JLo inspired dress in a 14! Sadly, that was not enough motivation to help me lose weight. IT NEVER FIT, FROM DAY 1. I ended up wearing this black n white dress OF MY MOMS (wah wah!) N hated the whole experience. Throughout the years I Carried it with me with every move, kept it n the back of my closet, for 9 yrs. About two yrs ago (when I was 295) my thigh wouldn't even fit n it n I almost got rid of it because it depressed me. It was a physical symbol of my failure. I put it on today.... AND IT FIT!!!!!!!!! I don't think I can accurately describe in words how amazing that felt, how rewarding, how proud! My hea...
You're very welcome, Madam!! Now get to mine more too lol (pulleeeeze)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it so much fun to be able to follow each other and provide support when we are feeling wise and strong and seek support when we are ready to throw up the white flag!? I LOVE it! Thanks for following my journey Liz. I keep thinking how wonderful it would be to have a bandster "reunion" of sorts where we can all FINALLY meet each other. One day...
ReplyDeleteLynn- wouldn't it be a "union" since we've never done it before, haha! Introducing...."THE BANDSTER UNION". I think it's possible if we get one person to organize the plans and do it 6-9 mths out in the future so everyone can be financially prepared.
