Confident In My Own Skin

 So I mentioned before that since I hit such a big weight loss milestone,
(and because most of my clothes are falling off me now) that I got to do a little bit of shopping!
I fell in LOVE with this gorgeous dress, and was SHOCKED that it looked so good on me after trying it on.
Not to sound conceited, I dont mean to come off sounding that way.
But honestly trying on clothes had never been my favorite thing. It was always discouraging!
If you're a bigger girl, or have ever been heavey, you KNOW what I mean.
Its hard to fall in love with the look of something on the rack, only to try it on and look horrid. :(
So when I tried on this dress and it actually looked good on me, it was a BIG deal.
I'm finally starting to feel comfortable... Confident, even, in my own skin.
Maybe you didn't know this, but I have always been extremely insecure and shy too.
Confidence is ALSO a big deal for me.

Of course I still have a long way to go in this weight loss journey...
And I KNOW I keep saying that, but honestly I do!
Still it's amazing what 40 lbs can do.
ANYWAYS, I was hoping not to write so much about my weight loss stuff,
But its what pops into my mind whenever I do these outfit posts.
So hopefully I'm not boring anyone!
I must confess though, that I have not lost much weight since last time (woot, 4 pounds)...
because I missed the gym for about 2 weeks!
I was dealing with two sick little boys, and then I got sick... SOOOO yeah, no gym for me.
Plus lots of bed rest...
But I have been back on track now and it feels nice, hopefully next update will be a great one.

Ok, so I must mention my shoes.
I first saw them online and was like MUST HAVE GOLD GLITTER HEELS!
Literally I think I went all zombie for a minute.
Are they not the cutest ever!?
Sure, a few people at church were saying some prayers that I didn't break a leg in them.
BUT I pulled them off pretty well... For a Big girl, I can do heels, Promise!

 Oh and guess what, THE HUBS took all these photos of me.
Yeah I remember when I said I would never have him do these pics for me,
because he would probably laugh at me and I would be all embarrassed.
Well he totally went all "pro" on me. haha
It was sweet. I love him TONS!

Also, you may not have noticed in the other pics, but I totally did my nails to match my outfit.
Dont judge, Yes I am a "matchy-matchy" kind of girl. I cant help it!!!

Back to the confidence subject.... I found this on Pinterest, and I just had to share.
Are you more of a confident or insecure person?
