My hubby and I went to a big party to celebrate my weight loss so far. It was a charity event, not something we would normally attend (we're not high rollers).
We had a great time, spent some money on charity auction items and really enjoyed the evening. My hubby said it was like going to a wedding, without the torture of the church before.
Here are my "big" wows!
1. A skinny girl at the party was wearing my dress. I know this sounds like "oh no" but to me it was great! I've never worn anything small enough or popular enough for someone else to be wearing my dress. Plus, she was TINY, so I filled out the right places MUCH better.
2. I got complimented on my choice of colors, etc and I believed that someone thought I just looked great. (Black halter dress, Fire Engine Red Shoes, jewelry, shawl).
3. The SKINNY girl next to me at our table (big hair, tiny body) noticed how little I ate and asked me about it! It felt SO good to have a few bites and set things aside or ask my hubby if he wanted it. Talk about wow - she had to be a size 2 and wondered why *I* wasn't eating!

4. I looked in a mirror at the event and thought I looked great, not fat.
5. My dress was a regular size 16 - go me!
6. I hit 234 this weekend - over 75lbs gone! Only 25 more to 100lbs!
Hope everyone else got some wow moments this weekend!
I'm finally feeling good about doing this. I hope these things keep coming.
