Back in March, I went wedding gown shopping. I fell in love with a dress, but unfortunately, the biggest size it came in was a 16. It wasn't close to zipping, and I was heartbroken. I talked to the seamstress at the gown shop to see if it was possible to get it altered to fit me in case I couldn't lose any weight. She confirmed that it would be possible, so, I did the ultimate no-no and bought a dress that was to small for me.

Here are the pictures from the day I bought the dress:

My bridal shower was this weekend and I had my mom bring my dress for me to try on, and guess what?!? It zips up and I have room to spare! And this is even without my bodice/bra piece that sucks in a few inches! Woohooo!!!

Here are the pictures from today:

I know I have more weight to lose before December, but I am just so proud of myself. Time to find a seamstress to get this thing taken in!!!
