Woohoo... yay Damiena!
I fit comfortably back into one of my beaded, unstretchy costumes last night, and felt good wearing it! I still have about five lbs. to go (so I can fit into the ones with the smaller bras and tighter belt hooks) but for the first time in the last few months, I felt confident performing without feeling like I was bulging out of my costume or trying to hide my pudge.
Even still, a waitress at the restaurant where I filled in who hasn't seen me in a couple of years said "You've gained a little weight, huh? Looks good!"
(She's always been like that... constantly commenting on everyone's bodies.. whatever...) But even that didn't get me down, because I feel lighter, it's easier to dance, and my costumes feel better, so yay!
