my new life!!
With this warmer weather we have had I now rub my hands with delight,as I can wear a dress!
Before my bypass this was something I would never dare do,being a size 24/26 a dress=tent for me.
So I had to spend many many warmer days in sweaty hot jeans and my thighs rubbing together...no fun!
The feeling of air circulating around the body is great!
Anyway...I bought a trendy midi dress a bit ago..nice I thought but don't know if I've got the guts to wear it.
I told myself "this is a skinny Minnie's" dress I'll just save it just incase.
Well I was going shopping with the kids and my partner,and it's warm...mmmmmm have I got the guts to wear that dress I ask myself.
I normally wear maxi dresses as they cover all my " bits of loose jelly skin" on my legs and belly,my arms are quite good as I've been lucky(thank god)
Ok..I'm gonna be brave and put it on...looked for a fat suit to smooth out the jelly belly and thigh area,put a nice longer necklace on and found some little sandals.
Looked in mirror and thought "that's not me"
I walk downstairs wondering what my partner response would be..lol
He looked and said "wow" he said I looked great.
I mentioned to yvessa on another thread,whilst out wearing this dress,even though it was nice to wear I felt awkward and thinking people thought I was "too fat" to wear something slinky and trendy as this.
But why can't except I'm not big anymore I'm fitting in size 12/14 sometimes small clothes..whilst out shopping I found a "monsoon" strapless trouser all in one in small.
And it was gorgeous (very African looking) if I fit into this how can I still be big?
I think when I look in the mirror I see my loose skin so it's harder to get your head round to being able to fit into smaller clothes with the excess skin.
And I'm never have plastics,had enough of operations,and I couldn't afford it anyway.
I've noticed just recently people on the forum talking a lot about trying to except your new smaller size,and it's very hard not to still see that "fat" person looking back.
Another lady posted does it get easy with time excepting your new size?
Well I'm 4 years in sept and I'm still struggling at times,like I said to yvessa,it's still very surreal at times.
I never ever thought I'd see the day I could walk out into the world wearing a midi dress.
