The Bridesmaid Dress

This is a really flattering dress in a really flattering pose...and I'll take it.

It's been two steps forward, one step back on my journey to look nice for my sister's wedding. 

I have lost 22 pounds.  When I was measured on Wednesday, it was the first time in I-don't-know-how-long that there was a distinct difference between my bust, waist, hips.  For years I was VERY square.  My measurements were literally all the same.  Now my waist is 5 inches smaller than my bust and hips.  I almost cried (happy tears).

I still have more to lose to reach my goal.  I am happy with how I look in that picture, don't get me wrong.  I feel pretty and am ok with admitting that. :) I do have work to do on my arms as they do not look like they do in the picture when I'm holding them down as to carry a bouquet!

I do love that picture and that dress...
