Why is this such a big deal for me? Well, my first wedding dress shopping experience was a nightmare. I scheduled an appointment at David's Bridal in 2001. While I was not at my heaviest, I was at least at 240 pounds. I was a size 18W and feeling very self-conscience. My sister and mom went with me. It was horrific! The lady that helped us only had two dresses for me to try on. AT DAVIDS BRIDAL. I wore a size 22 or 24 in wedding dresses, which made me feel even fatter.
The dresses that I did try on were UGLY and not me at all. Because of this embarrassing experience, I ended up ordering my dress on-line. My friend took it in for me and I never loved it. =(
I am hoping to change this. While weight is not everything, the world treats you differently when you are not fat. Horrific but true.
Here is a picture of me at my heaviest...I never want to forget this girl. That smile was a front for unhappiness and misery.
I chose to live every day to the fullest. I cannot wait to try on dresses!!
