First Formal Party!

Hey guys-- just got home from shopping for a dress for my friends wedding. This is the first formal gathering I'll be attending since the surgery 6 mos ago. I'm pretty excited :)

So here's me (still about 26 lbs to goal)

And here's a before shot with my brother. Sorry I don't have too many full body before shots.

    It's so hard for me to see myself as a "normal" size woman. I still have that larger me image in my head so even in photos sometimes I don't believe that's my body lol
