NSV - 5 years later and about 3 sizes too big.

:blushing: I feel a little shy posting this, and I told myself I wouldn't post here until I lost all that I wanted. This was just too good to pass up, though.

At a friend's request, I tried on my Senior Prom dress. Nervously, I slipped it over my hips ("Hey! this used to be tighter!"). Come to find out, it was about three sizes too big! I'm still reeling from it.

I knew that I had gotten quite a bit smaller, but I am also fitting into a pair of black slacks I got early on in high school. Pants size of 13, no less!

It, also, makes me a little sad. I realize, now, the true amount of weight my middle school depression made me gain. Then, the gain I had from college. *shudder* I look back at my wedding pictures and am disgusted with myself.

I feel so proud that I've lost 32 pounds using MFP, and a whopping 50-60 odd pounds before that. (I don't count what I lost before I started MFP in my ticker.) I don't feel ashamed to be in public anymore. I still fight my fear of crowds, but it's fading as my self-confidence rises. And, even though my husband has always found me attractive, he loves the way my body is looking.

This NSV just makes me even more excited to reach my goal.

I am TOTALLY PUMPED!!
