Restaurant Ready– Dining on a Date
A basket of freshly baked rolls sit steaming on the table with a crock of butter and two menus–one for you and one for him. He wanted sushi and you coerced him into Italian. Your plan backfired and now you’re staring at the menu dumbfounded.
Confidence in a Maroon Knit Dress
My confidence came later in life, after gastric bypass surgery.
Before I lost weight I wore only dress pants. You know… the unshapely kind that are a guaranteed hem job. I was apparently determined to hide my size in anyway possible, even if it qualified me for the TV show What Not to Wear. In all honesty I was ashamed of my body and I wore what I thought was ‘appropriate’ for my size. Like many people I struggled with body image and desperately tried to love myself, but it was a hard battle.
