The Big Reveal

As those of you that have been following my blog for a while, you know that my long term goal is to have less of me and to feel better.  I started out as a size 4X and with small changes such as giving up high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners and moving more. I have been tweaking my everything  since June 2009.  You can go back and see all the tweaks if you would like.

It has not been easy. There were set backs along the way. There is no fast fix.  I kept at it for over a decade.  Today is a really big day for me.  This is the first dress that I have worn since so last century that has not had an x before or after a number or letter.  I have finally gotten into a regular size large.   Yes this looks like an X-Large that I have been wearing for a few years. With COVID19 in all it’s, I don’t know. What I have not been able to do is celebrate properly by going out shopping.  So I headed to eBay and found a dress that I already had in my closet in a size smaller.  The only difference is the empire waist is in the right spot on the large dress and around my waist on the X-Large dress.

This is not the end of the journey. This is a milestone to be celebrated.  So celebrate with me as I show you my new to me dress.  Join me in my journey if you would like.  I have miles to walk and more inches to lose.  I would like to lose about 4 more inches around my rib cage and drop another few sizes and at least 50 more pounds. I say wish me luck, but there is no luck in longer term body reshaping, only hard work one day and one mile at a time.
