Off the sale rack...
Hey everyone... my name is Tiffany and this is day number 18 with LDL... which I LOVE! I have a little triumph to share with you.
Two years ago I bought a beautiful little sundress off the sale rack at Target right at the end of the Summer. I didn't bother to try it on, after all it had "X" in the size, surely it would fit me! WRONG! I got home and found out I couldn't even pull it down over my stomach! I didn't return it though... I told myself, I'll be in it by NEXT Summer. That didn't happen either, last Summer came and went.. no sundress. Today I decided to try on some of my clothes that I'd worn recently, just to see if they seemed looser than before, when I came across the little sundress. I thought, what the heck, I'll try to pull it on and see how far I have to go before I can wear it.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... I'M WEARING THAT DRESS!!!!!!!! COMFORTABLY wearing it.... I'm just shocked! I've only been doing this for 18 days..but it has made a huge difference in my body! I laughed and cried all at the same time... I proudly took the pair of scissors from the drawer and CUT the tags from it... they had been on the dress all this time. I texted my husband Mike (who works near where we live) and asked if he could come home right away for just a minute. When he got there I was "hiding" behind our bedroom door... he walked in and I stepped out in front of him.. "well" I said.... he just stared at me, his eyes popped out... and he said "hey, you've never been able to wear that!.. way to go babe"! This feeling is AMAZING! No greasy burger or pizza can compare to this!
It's now just passed dinner time... and Mike keeps looking at me... I feel so pretty...
Thanks for reading my little success story.. I pray it's one of MANY!

Congrats, isn't it wonderful when our dear ones look at us with that look, like they've never seen us before. It is the greatest feeling, and you will have many more of them as you stay ldl strong.

AW -- That's so fantastic! There's something about LDL that makes your tummy smaller than it was, even when you might weigh the same or even a tiny bit more than you did when you last tried on those old clothes. I don't know what it is, but I THANK GOD for it!

I had tears in my eyes too, just like Jazmyn. What a wonderful story -- now think of how your husband will respond to you when you can fit into the next size down. Be careful though because he might not make it out of the bedroom and back to work right away.

Sweetpea, I think you have a terrific husband. Just keep up what you are doing and you'll still be wooing him when you've been married 51 years. You're an inspiration. Forever Friend
