Well, it is almost Valentines day and to celebrate my husband and I went out on a wonderful date last night to Olive Garden <3 It was X-tra special because I was able to fit into a particular red dress that I have not been able to wear in literally years. I first got the dress back in 2004 when Bobby was about to deploy to Iraq and I wore it on a date when I went to see him in Hawaii.
This dress holds a very special meaning to me and I have kept it all these years hoping one day I would be able to wear it again. For the longest time it stayed in my hope chest as I hoped one day I would be able to fit into it again. After I got to my heaviest of 260lbs. that hope faded and faded. I even had the dress hanging on my wall in my bedroom for motivation to no avail. It would be about another year before I would get serious. Then I started this journey and hope was rekindled. I finally worked up the courage to try it on again in September of last year.

And then I tried it on again in January
Neither time did I feel confidant enough to wear the dress out in public. In fact, in September I felt kinda like a stuffed sausage! Then, finally, last night! Eeeeee!!
