So today my girlfriends and I went shopping for dresses for our friends services next weekend. It was an AMAZING feeling for me to pick out dresses that were 3-4 sizes smaller then what I had been wearing! I also got an awesome pair of heels to go with this new pink dress. I know my friend was guiding me in my choices today because they are all things I was going to walk away from initially.

We are all getting tattoos in her honor also. Can't wait for Friday, but Saturday can stay away for awhile. I had always thought about a tattoo but never did anything about it because of my weight. I must say, I am feeling damn good lately. I cut my hair off, bought a hot dress and "hooker heels" (not really, but they are high!), and am getting a tattoo.

Exciting things on the horizon. I might need to go dress shopping again!!

I love tattoos! I have 5 but they are all in simple places like my ankles and foot..ive been picky on where I get it because of my weight but I am using a new tattoo as a reward when I lose 100 lbs...I wanna get one on my shoulder. I never got one there because im too self conscious to wear a tank top and whats the point of a tattoo if u cant show it off right? Congrats on the dress and the new look! I cant wait til I get to the point where I can shop for smaller clothes! Reading these stories inspire me even more! What is ur tattoo going to be?

It is going to be an elephant with a pink ribbon incorporated into it. I'm super excited! I'll post a pic when it is done.

Wow I'm actually not one to be interested in tattoos even though I have 1 but I have to say I really do like this! And I am sorry for your loss.
