This is Me and My Dress Having Fun in Houston
I am totally impressed with myself, balancing in heels like that.
Also? Totally proud of myself for putting aside my insecurities about my body to wear something pretty and to have a good time.
Embrace the body you have now, ladies. If you’re not happy with the way you look and you want to lose weight, then do it. BUT! DO NOT STOP LIVING in the mean time. You deserve to enjoy your life whether you’re 110 pounds or 300 pounds.
Life is good. And life is short. Don’t waste a minute of it.
I LOVE IT!!! Both the dress and your attitude!!
First let me say that you look fabulous! Secondly HOW BRAVE ARE YOU?!?!?!! I don’t care what size I am I’d never even try vertical stripes. You manage to pull it off!
I think you’re beautiful.. and I needed that.
Words to live by…
You look fab in the dress. Hope you’re having a good time here in Houston. I live in the same city as a conference and I’m not there, so bummed!
You look gorgeous in your dress. I’m glad you brought it.
Love this.
Have a fantastic time!
oh snap!
Wow… look at gorgeous curvey YOU!!! I’d KILL for those kind of curves!! Right now, I’m just sort of the everywhere-lumpy-type!
Sexy mama, always.
I love that advice!!
You’re a total Rawk Supahstah!!! xoxo
Very cute! Now, I don’t want to alarm you–and it’s probably too late anyway–but there appears to be a ghost in Kristen’s hand. May want to ask housekeeping to do a sweep before bathtime, just in case.
I really needed to hear that today. Thank you!
By the way…you look incredible!
You look awesome! And happy – what a wonderful attitude you have – excellent!
You look lovely! 🙂
Amen, sistah! You totally rocked it & I love it. 🙂
Yeah what monstergirlee said. 🙂
You are rockin’ that dress and you look AMAZING – your confidence shines through!
Thanks for the reminder. 🙂
Word!
You are adorable. Love that dress on you!
Words to live by.
PS. you do look great, btw.
Y, you’re awesome. It’s so so cool reading your morphing perceptions about your body and yourself and yourself in your body… Mostly because I’m on the same journey myself. You just express it a lot better. 🙂
(Delurking) Damn girl, you’re hot! Love the dress and the new attitude!
You look FABULOUS – the little black cami is perfect under your dress. You are so right – I am working on losing 50 pounds, but I am enjoying my life in the meantime!
Love your dress ~ looks awesome on you. Your words are so true and I am trying to live them, too. Thanks.
I can see the weight loss! Keep up the great work. I am truly inspired by you.
Love it! You look fantastic!
and this particular weight looks perfect on you. health at every size, holla!
Yay you!!! You look fantastic! Keep having fun!
Partay!!! You go girl…you rawk!
Love it all!
The dress, the bod, the fun. At one hundred cough cough pounds and a size that starts with a 1 myself, I’m finally starting to accept, nay, even appreciate my curves and little imperfections. The models are about 1% of the population. The average woman is a size 14 at 5 foot 4. I am trying to be healthier, not skinnier, and for the first time in, oh, forever, that focus has yielded a 25 lb loss in about 3 months which is huge for me.
You look awesome! You’re a g-damn inspiration. Love it!
One of your best posts evahhhh!!! LOVE YOU! You inspire me to live life to the fullest even though I may not be a size 2 or even a size 12. 🙂
Hot!!! Love it!

(You’re a BUSINESS WOMAN first. Hahahaa)
I have read about you missing out on things for SO LONG because you were unhappy with you – it’s so nice to see you realize that fun is fun no matter what you look like. Fun is about you!

It’s interesting, b/c I saw this post in my reader before the previous one, and before reading the comments, my first thought was ‘damn, Y looks HOT in that dress’. To find that it almost didn’t happen? Shocking, and I’m glad you listened to teh interwebz. When you remove the trollish assholes, it’s a surprisingly smart place.
Anyway, WORD to the post itself. One of the things my partner has started doing, which I respect a lot, is that when people compliment him on his weight loss, he points out that they’re disparaging how he looked before. He liked how he looked then, and doesn’t want to bash how he looked just because he fits society’s mold a little more comfortably now.
You look beautiful.
And thank you. I needed this reminder today.
You look so great! I just bought this boring, conservative dress to cover my post-baby, jiggly tummy, but after reading this I wish I got something to show off my currently-breastfeeding (never gonna look like this again) enhancements. Thanks for the inspiration!
Y you rock that dress, your style and your personality! Have a fabou time in Houston! Brava, brava, brava!
You look super bien buena! Keep it up. Love to see you happy.
Y! You’re crazy! You look stunning in that dress. Whatever lumps you are seeing aren’t there to the rest of us. We just see one hot mama.
Yay!
I adore this post.
I think you’re gorgeous! We should all take your advice. Thanks for the reminder! And, I love the dress!
You look stunningly hot! You’re one hot mama! NEVER forget that!
So freaking true…I am a very big lady…but I love the way I look when I dress nicely and I love buying clothes that make my body feel good….and I rarely stress over my weight and my looks although I do stress over my weight and my health.
You looked fantastic! It was so great to meet you at Mom2.0Summit.
You are totally gorgeous. So glad you got that dress! And definitely a good reminder about life and bodies and such. Thank you for that.
You look GREAT and the happy face is the best part. People of EVERY size deserve to be happy! It is not an indication of worth or even beauty. Love reading your posts..
You look WONDERFUL! You are giving me motivation to get off my lazy ass and start exercising! I love your blog! You have a beautiful family!

i love you, Y. you look happy and about 16 years old.
