For the first REAL time...
Well today I had to go and pick out yet another dress since the person I bought the other one from didn't get it to me and kept giving me the run around but there is a little consignment shop here in Leeds called "How Cute" that has some of the most beautiful dresses. I bought a formal evening gown and it is absolutely gorgeous! I slipped it on. First one in my whole life...and my Mother was with me and when I looked into the mirror I could not believe the woman looking back at me was really me. And I didn't even have my makeup on and I was absolutely entranced. I could not believe that I was looking back at myself and not seeing the morbidly obese woman that looked back at me a year ago. The saleslady was so upset she didn't know why I was crying and it was so many emotions flowing out that my Mother had to speak for me. You can rent the dresses or buy them but seeing how it was the very first for me I wanted to buy it for a keepsake and a memory so cherished that I will
never forget that moment when I looked into that mirror in that little dressing room and saw a woman that had been finally freed from the body that she was locked inside of. I thank God for this surgery and my wonderful doctor, Dr. Schmitt. God Bless us all! I am so excited I can hardly wait. I am still nervous about falling but if I do I will call it the FALL FOR THINNESS! I love ya all!
