17 days and counting. And I can honestly say I have come a long way. I also still have such a long way to go. But I am taking it one day at a time, and staying strong, and becoming stronger with every step. So today's task, while I am sure was meant to be inspiring, did not quite turn out that way for me.
The little black dress is a campaign sponsored by Coca Cola that supports people getting back into that outfit that they outgrew by becoming healthy. And our task today was to show the world our "little black dress."
So here is mine...

A pair of size 8 jeans, complete with tags still attached, that I purchased just weeks before everything went south, so to speak. And yes, I tried them on. And at one point, they did in fact fit. When I look at them, hanging in my closest, I always think to myself that I am getting close. That one day I will get there again. And then, I was hit with today's task. It really was an eye opening experience.
I asked my husband to take my picture holding them up to me. And in the first picture I took, I noticed I was hiding behind them, instead of just holding them up to me. Which really did not show me what I wanted to see. So a second was snapped. But he hates it when I fake smile. So insert smart ass husband remark and behold...
Yes. That is my rear end peaking out from the sides of those jeans. Holy heck, I still have so far to go. I am no where near "close" and honestly it is hard to believe that these jeans once fit me at all.
But I will get there. One day at a time.
