I feel pretty, oh so pretty... NSV!!!!

Yesterday, I had to go to a bridal shop for the dreaded bridesmaid dress fitting (It's the later of two weddings I'm standing in...3 weeks away). I was so disappointed in the dressing room when I looked in the mirror and the dress looked HORRIBLE on me. It is a beautiful dress and I was looking forward to the wedding because I was going to be seeing people I hadn't seen in years and I wanted to look stunning :blushing: I was nearly in tears because of how bad it fit me. When I came out, the consultant was like "Oh dear, let me go get the seamstress". I then overheard her in the next room telling the seamstress, "you're going to have a lot of work to do on this dress, this girl has a little bitty waist". Folks, if I was even slightly prone to hugging and kissing complete strangers, somebody would have has to peel my off of that woman lol! Next, I stopped at the nail salon for a manicure for the wedding I'm in this weekend (I used to be a regular at this salon but had not been for a manicure since my son was born a year ago). When I came in the door, the nail tech said, "Wow! You haven't been here in a long time! You lost all that baby weight!" And again, I got a sudden urge to just :smooched: all over her! Yesterday just really made me feel great....thought I'd share. Much love MFP buddies!!!!

    Oh you bet I did! I know that lady could tell how upset I was and she said, "Don't worry honey, we'll fix you up. We'll have you putting those other bridesmaids to shame" lol! Of course, that isn't my goal.....oh wait....maybe it is a little :tongue:

    Your topic line was what encouraged me to click as it was a favorite song my Mom used to sing with her sister (I lost her this past Mother's Day)... it was your story and perspective on life that kept me reading. Tisk tisk on those that judge another and not knowing where they've come from or where they are going. Kudos for you for seeing the positive and sharing with others...

    Keep your eye on the prize!

    Feel free anyone to friend me for positive food for thought left on my page daily! Hugs and Health, Colleen

    this girl has a little bitty waist".

    Woo hoo! I'm glad you feel so good. And you're going to rock both of those weddings!

    God gave me a lot of things in life, but a waist was not one of them. Even when I'm thin (it's been a while) I have more of a jelly bean shape. I would love to hear someone say I had a tiny waist...
