Bridesmaid dress NSV

I'm in a wedding in November and yesterday we went back to David's bridal to buy our bridesmaid dresses.


The last time we were there was at the end of March and I had on a size 20.  I felt pretty bad about that as I had already lost 30 lbs, but you know dress sizing, they're totally off!  


I was a little nervous going in there.  You know how your mind plays tricks on you.  I had the thought of still wearing a size 20 even after all of the hard work I've put in.  My mind is a little nuts that way.  I'll hold off putting a pair of pants on thinking they're going to be snug, then when I put them on finally, they're too big!  One day my brain won't think I'm fat anymore...


Well yesterday I had on a size 16!!!  It was a little snug over my gigantic boobs, but it zipped up all the way!  I did order the 16 as my bust size probably won't change that much over 4 months and will just have it taken in closer to the wedding.  I felt pretty great coming out of there!

  1. I'm so impressed with your courage. "I decided to change my life" is awesome!

    I teach this exact mindset - the "1% Mindset." It's where we stop hoping for change, and make that DECISION you made. Awesome.

    1. Thank you! That's exactly it. I made a decision that I didn't want to be 250 pounds anymore and I've made a commitment to that. I'm not that person I was 9 months ago :)
