My Goal to wear a formal gown

Ok I was a heavy teenager and painfully shy. I never got asked to formal dances EVER. I was out shopping with my teenager sister last night who is preparing for her 5th formal dance since starting highschool (she is a senior). The dresses there were so gorgeous and I started really feeling sorry for myself for never having worn one. So I have found a new goal!!! When I get to my goal weight, I'm going to go to the ball at my university with my hubby (gee he'll love being dragged to that! lol) but I just want to recapture a bit of my youth and experience something I missed out on.

What do ya think???

Sounds like a good goal to me...

I expect that by my next wedding anniversary, I will be able to fit into my gown. That will be exciting. After 18 yrs - being able to fit back into that will be GREAT. I guess I will have to make my hubby take me someplace fantastic!

:]

Sounds like a plan.

Great goal! I actually can fit into my wedding dress now and its loose in the waist (not up top though)!!! I can understand I was always heavy and never went to a formal dance in school either. You can do it, and tell hubby to at least pretend like he enjoys it when it's time!!! LOL

I think that is a fabulous idea. I really miss my teenage years, especially high school. It was so darn fun renting tuxes, getting the dress, taking an hour and a half to get ready. Go to a nice dinner beforehand and rent a limo too. You will have a blast. YOu can do this!

Sounds like a plan.... and a good one, and hey you could bribe him with the reincarnation of the infamous

"AFTER PROM PRIVATE PARTY" :censored:
