I wouldn't ever wear this outfit in public....but the night we took these pictures we'd just returned home from a Masquerade party...and the pictures of me in my dress are nice....but you can't "see" as clearly - so I took off my dress & slipped on some of my favorite slacks that I love from the GAP!! (B/c they are black they are more 'forgiving'... but hopefully you can still see my 'belly.') I've lighted the background...and then tried to brighten the picture so you can see - what I would consider my "problem areas".... lets just say....I'm looking forward to a tummy tuck....(someday....)
Here is the comparison with my Surgery day Pictures....when I see these...I honestly feel less critical of my body - and have a sigh of relief.
I've lost nearly 160#'s (only .2#'s away)...and I'm about 7 pounds from loosing 1/2 of myself!!!I've gone from a size 32 to a 10/12. (mostly 12's)
This is the dress I wore to my 10yr. class reunion...and then again this past summer at my 20yr. class reunion. THIS night I had to wear a tank top (the one from above) underneath it b/c it's toooo loose...and I can't wear a bra....so, i wore a tank with a 'built in tube-top'....I feel like my boobs are saggy!! A great Bra makes ALL the difference!!!
