The dresses don't lie

This is such a fun time of year but I live in constant regret and denial about food.  All through October and November I go to the races, wear fun hats and bet.  And eat.  And drink.
The size of my dress determines my happiness.  So, I am SO GLAD that I no longer am in this dress!!!!  This is 2007 and I think I was a very healthy 22 almost 24?

  

But I get sad that I am no longer in this dress.  This was 2013 and I was so excited!  This is a lovely size 16.  So much happiness.

Today I was a chunky size 18.

I did have to buy new dresses this year and it was just really depressing.  I don't want to get back up to that 22/24.
