- Wow. Guys. Holy…monkeys. Tears of joy are happening. This morning, I broke through my fitness plateau and to reward myself I went to Nordstrom Rack to FINALLY buy the dress I’ve been eyeballing for summer for MONTHS!
Back in September, I came in, tried it on and it wouldn’t roll past my waist because it was just way too tight. I was SO upset because I loved the color and the style but it was just too small even as a women’s XL. I went home, had a glass of wine and tried to put the disappointment behind me.
So this morning, after the gym & before work, I rolled up to the Nordstrom Rack and found the same dress on the clearance rack! I took big belly breaths and steeled myself for the fitting room. And… the dress swallowed me whole!!! 😲😲 It’s WAY too BIG for me now! Folds of fabric everywhere in the places I couldn’t even get over my curves before! WHAT IN THE WHAT?! I cried lol. What a journey. What a crazy hard mental journey and now the rewards that seemed so far away are SO SWEET. I couldn’t fathom being here even at the end of last year, 40lbs heavier than I am now or especially 2 years ago, 61 pounds heavier! Like Ilana always says, 2lbs at a time. Just focus on 2lbs at a time and trust the process and eventually you’ll get there. She’s right! The journey isn’t over but the process sometimes feels just as good! I guess I’ll have to go back and shop some more but this time with a lot more confidence! 🙌🎉😍
Big strength and loves to y’all. We’ve got this!
