Omg! Omg! I just fit into a size 14 dress!

My husband can't stop shopping online for me. I have no idea why but clothes keep appearing at the house. So he bought me two tiny looking size 14 dresses. I wanted to let him see how they were still waaaay too small for me. I love dresses but they didn't look good with the excess weight so I was very nervous.

But they fit!

And even though I say it myself, dang I look good in them! I have to admit, I didn't recognize myself in them. I didn't realize I am "small" enough to fit into them.

I used to read about others who said they didn't realize they were in a smaller size and it made no sense to me. Today I understood that.

I'm exactly three months out today (sx aug 2nd), 39 lbs down and in another pound I'll be half-way to goal. I've gone from an 18w or 20 to a misses 14.

For those of you who stress about stalls(I.e., me too)? Just know that in 3 months I've had 3 stalls that lasted 12 days, 12 days, and 15 days respectively. So out of 90 days, I spent 39 days stalled. And still got these results overall.

So grateful for the sleeve today. I have a thankful heart. Thanks for listening to me dance about with happiness

He is very excited. He's lost about 80 lbs since last April too. We were sleeved together on August 2nd 2013. I took him clothes shopping today but we didn't find anything we really liked. We'll try again in a few weeks for him :)

I am so thrilled for you!! You look wonderful!! Way to go!!!

Okay here's a pic. no makeup and hair looks like crap after walking for hours so I chopped my head off :)

Be gentle! I haven't worn a dress in a while.

Thank you guys so much! The other nice thing is those shoes were too tight for me but now they fit perfectly. I've had them for years and couldn't bring myself to give the. Away coz they're so cute!

I think I'm finally starting to believe that I might hit goal some day. I'm obviously a slow learner :)

Not only is that an awesome NSV... (to wear something that you could never "feel comfortable" wearing before due to your weight) BUT your husband has great taste in clothing.

Looking good GG!
