Cheese and Confession

"Cheeeeeese!" I finally did my before shots! I still don't have the courage to show my face, but at least my fat is out there for the world to see! I kept wanting it to be a *good* before shot...but, that's the point right? The before shots are NEVER good! So...without further delay:

Anyway, I also have a major confession with four bad words: Triple Chunk Chocolate Brownies. I have an excuse (hee hee hee--as I always do!). I was so stressed. We have a BIG, BIG wedding to go to tomorrow. Everyone has been talking about it. Everyone has been talking about their new this and new that to wear to this wedding. I was stressed. So, I did what I do. I ate. I'm sure some of you can relate. Then, I drove an hour to the fanciest store around me. I was convinced nothing would fit. I would have to buy a black tent to wear. BUT, lo and behold, I found several dresses. After spending about an hour in the dressing room, I tried on 7 dresses,  having my little girl take my picture, texting the pics to my sister and husband, I bought 3 dresses. One for the wedding, and 2 just for me. I may take one back b/c it was pricey and I'm having buyer's remorse. Then, I went and bought shoes! I love shoes. Then, I bought a pair of $80 (yes, that much) Spanx. But, it will be worth it to hold in all the cellulite, I guess. And, my husband can't quit talking about my red dress. It is completely out of my comfort zone. It is something I would wear at a much smaller size. It is red...I like to blend in when I am fat. But, I feel okay in it. I think I might make it through the night. Here, take a look:

And my lovely shoes!!!!

With silver jewelry!!! So excited!

Well, I hope you have a great weekend. Stay away from the brownies. Don't judge the before pics to harshly! I'm not sure I can take it! Just kidding!
