Sooo, it has been 18 months since I started my weight loss journey. And I have been looking forward to the day I could do a post like this... Wearing the first outfit I wore at the start of this journey, again.... With a major weight difference. I had originally planned on doing this post at the one year mark. However I decided to share my condensed story instead. And... Well I will admit I was a little bummed at the time that I was at a stand still in my progress.
But since I have really been pushing myself to meet my goal of being 140 pounds, I am feeling a lot more confident, and am seriously so excited to share. Even though I am not at 140 yet (I'm currently at 165, my height is 5'4 for anyone curious) I am still proud of my (slow) progress! I had not put on this outfit in MONTHS, so to put it on and see just how much weight I have shed is like "WHOA" to me. ♥ You will see what I mean in the photos below.
But first I wanted to address one more thing. I got a question from a couple ladies about my clothing size now. And the thing is... Clothes are weird and different depending on brand! So I am actually all over the place. HAHA But for those of you curious here is where I am at currently...
Tops: Large (I CAN wear medium, but Ive still got large breasts... So I feel more comfortable in a Large)
Bottoms: If they are teens I'm a size 11, in women I am a size 8!
Dresses: Ok, this one is weird... Most dresses (Like from Maurices, Old Navy, Ross) I am in a Medium or 9/10 or 12. Again in also depends on the style... Because of the "Tatas"... But for the most part I am a medium.
If I am purchasing from an online boutique (Such as Sugar Love Boutique) or any other cute online shop I do large. Boutique clothing usually runs small... So I am usually a large. Its best to KNOW your measurements and always check size charts when you are shopping online. ♥
Alrightly... Well I hope that helps! Now, lets get to these pictures::::::::
