Do you get extreme anxiety when looking for your Halloween costume? Because I sure do! Always have! I was talking with some friends the other day about how I’ve never been the girl that puts the hoe in Halloween. I’ve always been the one to go the scary route. I realized as I was sharing that fact that it was because I was never happy enough with my body to go for the skimpy and sexy costumes.
Well let me tell you, the joy I felt when I put on my Pennywise costume yesterday almost brought me to tears. This costume is from a few years ago. And yes we absolutely recycle costumes in our house because frankly they’re just too damn expensive now a days! Anyhoo, back to the unexpected transformation…this costume is a size XL and when I purchased it two years ago it barely zipped up on me. But it was the biggest size they had so I went with it. You can tell in the photos I took how uncomfortable I was. Always trying to make the skirt fuller to hide how large I was in my midsection.
Flash forward to yesterday and I am down two costume sizes and had to hold the back of the dress just so you could see my figure! These past few years haven’t been easy and I haven’t been perfect but I have remained consistent and determined and I am so proud of how far I’ve come! I can’t wait to see what the future holds as I continue to embrace this healthier lifestyle! Who knows, maybe I’ll even try that sexier costume someday. The sky is the limit and I have my sights set real high! Want to jump into this lifestyle and run alongside me??? Drop a 💪🏼 below or slide into my DMs and let’s talk options. I can’t wait to work with you!!!
