Only because I'm feeling good!

My niece had her wedding reception on Friday night and Chris and I went to wish the couple well! We had so much fun. I was in a new outfit and feeling so good about myself! I had my hair down and makeup on. I felt pretty, confident and ready to conquer the world! I walked in and Brie didn't recognize me right away. Not only that, but I purposely bumped into my dad and he says 'excuse me' very politely. As I stared at him for almost 10 seconds before he says "Oh, my god, Sheryl!" He said he didn't even recognize me and asked where all my hair came from! With my hair down and makeup on and apparently 36 pounds gone, he could have looked right passed me without knowing it was me.  So, with that, I decided to put up a couple pictures today, because I'm feeling pretty good about myself :)

Here's a picture taken a few months ago of my daughter, Ellie and I. We were playing around and she wanted a picture with mommy, so I took one. Never posted it anywhere because my face looked so big and red, because of the Roscia that I have. Never felt really good about myself.



Here's what I looked like Friday night! You can see the difference 36 pounds has done to my face. I'm starting to get definition in my cheeks and jaw line. I feel awesome! People all over are starting to notice!



Had to have a little picture taken of Chris and I after the reception. We went and had some sushi since we hadn't been out to eat it what seems like eons! So, it was a great night all around and we had a ton of fun! It was a night that just made me feel so much better about myself!
