Steppin’ Out of My Comfort Zone
11 04 2008You may have heard my buzz on here about our trip to San Antonio next week. One of the evenings requires a cocktail dress. I haven’t had the opportunity to wear a cocktail dress since I lost the weight, so Mom and I went shopping. Let’s just say I was out of my comfort zone. I bought one that was a style I never would have picked up before, but I love it! The dress is great, but I still see things that I wish I could change about my body. I realize my body has done some amazing things this past year, but I guess there will always be a part of me that is self critical. I’ll by no means have the best body there, but I’m pretty sure I’ll feel confident knowing how far I’ve come. I need to focus on my positively amazing changes and improvements over the past year and embrace my imperfections because they are what makes me, me. I’ll slip on that dress, hold my head high, and smile. After all, doesn’t being confident and happy make all our flaws look better?

Congratulations! It’s always wonderful to embrace our new body and most importantly, appreciate our new body! Think we might get a picture in this fancy cocktail dress? *hint hint*
Either way, keep up the amazing work and I hope you really enjoy yourself and your new thinner body!
