My dream is this red dress that I own. Not so much the dress itself, but what the dress represents.
I wore this dress last year when my husband and I went to Cancun after he returned from Afghanistan. I was 15 pounds from my weight goal.
I looked good. I felt good.
I wore a bathing suit in public.
I frolicked at the beach.
Frolicked.
In a bathing suit.
In public.
I didn’t care if my husband saw me out of the dress either 
Also, I was a better mommy. I had more energy.
I got down on the floor and played with my kids more. The whole family went for walks and jogs together. I played at the park instead of just watching my kids play.
I want to be that person again when I lose all this weight.

Ooooh. I have a red dress from a cruise too. I wasn’t at my goal weight either, but a lot closer than I am now!
Can’t wait to see you wearing it!

LOL - I had a red dress from a cruise 10+ years ago. It went out of style so I got rid of it…at least I think I did. It might be in storage back in TX.
That’s a great dress and I know you’ll be in it again before you know it!
