The Red Dress


Red DressMy 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.

  3. 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!
