NSV (with pic!) :)
I haven't shopped for clothes in a really long time, but since my jeans were falling off of me, I decided it was time. Every shopping trip for the last 2 or so years has ended in tears because I couldn't believe how big I was, and how terrible the clothes looked on me. Tonight, I closed my eyes as I tried on a pair of…

Hey! I'm new here.
Hey! My name is Brittany and I'm 22 years old. I've been married since Dec 2007 and I have a 13 months old son. I've always felt self-conscious of my weight, even when I was stick thin. I lost 20lbs during the first trimester of my pregnancy because my morning sickness was so bad, and for the first time, I felt good about…
