Little Black Dress!
So I went to a party this weekend. It’s funny how fitness is so much at the forefront of my life now.
At the first party, I was a guest of a guest. I did not know more than two or three people there. But by the end of the evening, everyone knew I had lost more than 100 pounds. My friend told one guest and it just snowballed from there. I like it though. It’s a great opportunity to get to talk to someone who needs a little encouragement.
The second party was at my best friend’s house. I got to see a bunch of people I had not seen in about a year. Of course, they had a million questions.
I spent both parties huddled in corners talking to people about fitness and nutrition, and I could not have been happier!
You see, this marks the first party season that I don’t have to worry about what I wear or how I look. I don’t have to scan the room to see if I’m the biggest person in the room or worry about how I look in a Halloween costume or a little black dress.
Just the fact that I can even call it a LITTLE black dress is great! I mean, when I was a size 26, the term “little black dress” was an oxymoron at best!
It’s so freeing to have my weight under control. It such a good change to look forward to a party.
People ask me all the time if I get tired of the questions. And you know, I can honestly say I do NOT. It’s become who I am. And I am happy.
And I look good in a little black dress!
