Take it off | Week 53: Mediversary

Remember these?

I couldn't even zip it up :(

A lot changes in a year. 

Not only can I get it zipped, but it's falling off of me.

Where's Izzy? And my boobs?

 

 

Like any good bride, I need to be gracious and say my thank yous.

Thank you Medifast for giving me a life I never saw for myself. Thank you for taking a chance on me and letting me prove to you, so many others, and most importantly myself that I have what it takes to succeed. Succeeding not just in weight loss but pushing through physical and mental pain, setting goals and working to reach them, helping me to realize dreams I never knew I had.

Thank you for sticking with me through my ups and downs. For letting me find my own way on this program and supporting my decisions, good or bad. Thank you for not only being an awesome and amazingly generous sponsor but becoming people that I consider my friends.

Thank you for helping me realize what I thought was a small goal - fitting into my wedding gown again. A goal I thought was, on a grander scale, no big deal yet has had nearly as many layers as the crinoline beneath the skirt.

Thank you for helping me become a role model for my daughter. And for helping me be a healthier and happier wife, mother and friend. Thank you for helping me take charge of and save this one life I've been blessed with.

Thank you.

I went shopping over the weekend. I haven't bought any new clothing - especially nice things - in a very long time. Umm....not to be completely vain, because I don't have many moments where I'm all 'Holy shit, you are hot!'...but y'all....HOLY SHIT! I AM HOT!

LOL

I'm also a size 10!!! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

 

Special thanks to my husband for entertaining himself in Kohl's for the better part of two hours. And in case you are wondering, I got the purple dress, the white jeans, the black dress and the denim skirt/shirt combo and two new pairs of heels. I'd like to think they were well deserved treats.
