Although this isn't something I love talking about, I've lost about 25 pounds since last year. I went through some medical problems in 2012 that caused me to gain quite a bit of weight and for a girl who has been a size 2/4 her whole life it was really difficult. I'm proud to say that I'm almost back to my "normal" weight though, about 10 pounds to go! Because the weight came on so fast I really didn't own a lot of "in between" sized clothes. There were those that fit me at my heaviest and those that fit me at my before weight. Most of my tops and jackets from before are fitting me again though, which is such a relief. I have't worn this blazer in a year and a half and this J. Crew sequin top still had the tags on it from 18 months ago. It really is like having a whole new wardrobe and I'm loving it! Now for getting those "skinny" jeans to fit me again....
On a side note, my poor daddy had to take these photos for me. I was home for the night to celebrate my parents' 28th wedding anniversary and my mom was running a tad late so he was stuck doing it. Let's just say it wasn't his favorite thing, but he did a pretty darn good job for a newbie!
