Not Hidding Anymore

For about the last 2 years I have been the queen of layering, I have hid behind sweaters ... Year round I have found away, short sleeve ,long sleeve, heavy, light weight, all over top of camisoles. I am talking at least 6 days a wks... want examples... here is the evidence




all three pics are me in some of my FAV sweaters of the last couple years.. I am proud to announce today I am at work without a sweater on ( I have not been at work without layers in 2 yrs at least)... I am not hiding, I am in a regular dress top and proud of it...nothing to pull around me every time I get up from my desk, nothing to tug down over my rear every time I get up... I am done hiding....
My sweaters are so much of a security blanket to me when I packed up my 18s and 20s a couple wks ago to pass on I kept 3 of the sweaters and about 6 of the camis so I could keep wearing them.... for the record they are ridiculously big on me ( as most were 20s I am firmly in 16s now) BUT that's where my comfort was and I was not ready to move on...
Tonight though I will be packing them up and giving them away too, no more hiding behind them... it is hard though bc honestly the only place I notice a difference yet is my face but obviously the rest of me is changing to I just don't see it... I don't have a pic of me in a regular top I will try to get my daughter to snap one :) This journey is about so much more than loosing weight and regaining my health it about facing all the issues that come along with it...insecurity's, emotional eating, and oh I can go on and on...
I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday and are looking forward to a long Memorial Day Weekend and dont forget to hug a VET.. I will hug mine lol... :)
