    Thanks everyone! Six months ago you couldn't have convinced me there was a Snickers chance in my purse of me being in this dress today, let alone posting a picture of myself on the interwebs!

    I love the dress and you look fabulous in it.

    I have a little aside here. I was at Goodwill the other day, I saw this beautiful dress, it was from White House Black Market, but it was a size 8. I bought it since it was only $4.99. I brought it home and attempted to try it on. While unzipping it, I found the tag was still attached, the price was $139. The dress is too tight, it doesn't zip all the way, but it will one day. It's my goal dress, it's beautiful and perfect and I can't believe it's brand new with tags and I got it for 4.99.

    Keep being fabulous!

    I'd recently put myself on a financial diet in a last ditch effort to save money towards my upcoming home purchase, so I mentally slapped the hand that was reaching out toward that glorious dress and turned away.

    Hehehe, I love it! You look nothing short of stunning in that dress!! And on sale, too!! Gotta love a bargain!! Well done, lady. Well done.

    For some reasons, I cannot see the pictures (may be becasue I am on my government computer at work). The truth is I do not have to see the pictures. You told it in a way that I can relate. I have been where you were. Now, I am 16 (some 14s). This is VERY encouraging. I am so HAPPY for YOU! Keep up the good work.

    PS: I don't know what you do for a career. If you are not a writer, you should be!

    You look amazing! By the way, how tall are you? I'm surprised that you're 207 pounds and a size 10. You definitely don't look 207 pounds!
