My Dress Story

Back when I was graduating from high school, I bought a dress that was a whole size too small. I did everything in my power to fit into that dress. I pushed myself to the limits by minimizing my food, negotiating with myself, overexercising, and a bunch of other harmful behaviours. 

Eventually, I fit into that dress, but I was still not happy. And now, when I look back at the photos, I only remember how badly I felt in that dress– not my graduation, the people there, or any of the fun times I was living through.

Because I had been on a weight-loss diet, I gained all the weight back. I spent years struggling, until I eventually just GAVE UP dieting for good. I decided I was going to pursue healthy behaviours, not a number on a scale. I went to my own dietitian and counsellor that helped me heal my relationship with my food & body.

10 years later after my graduation, I was getting married. I remember being told that I’d need to lose weight now to fit into the dress. But this time, I told myself, “I’m not fitting into the dress.. the dress is going to fit me!” And that’s exactly what happened. I found a dress that fit me and made me feel confident. To this day, I LOVE the memories from my wedding.
