"I'm trusting myself and my body more with ...taking chances."

Sona, that is the BEST thing to hear! I'm so glad that you are trusting yourself - your body and your instincts, and starting to see the beauty that WE see. I think you are absolutely gorgeous, and that jewel toned dress is an incredible way to highlight your figure and lovely complexion.

It's been a true pleasure to be here and see your style and confidence evolve over time. You are SO sweet and encouraging, and I hope we've shown the same support to you as you constantly give to others.

Sona you are totally rocking that dress. Your skin is just glowing and you look gorgeous. You have been really putting together some great looks the last while.

You are absolutely NOT fat. You are looking fab.

WOW that dress is stunning on you! (I have this dress too /highfive) You look beautiful, and I'm so happy to read what you wrote you fab lady you And now I am going to file this away to copy for the next time I wear this dress!

What brand is that dress, Sona? I see you and Aida both have it, but can't find the brand.

Kari its from old navy. from a few months ago.Shannon has it too!

Oh, awesome! I will sneak a peak at Shannon's post with the dress too.

WOW - you look STUNNING in that dress. This is such a great outfit on you. Terrific silhouette and even better mindset behind it. So glad to hear you are feeling more confident in finding clothes that make you feel as fab as you are!

Repeat (3 times if necessary) to yourself everyday: "I am fabulously dressed and beautiful." It's a fact and don't doubt it!!!

Sona - you are BEAUTIFUL! Never doubt it & would have been beautiful even when you were 75 lbs heavier.

I love these kinds of posts. I'm not actively on the boards much these days. But I pop in now and then. The outfit is beautiful. One of the best I've seen you post. The thing that struck me about this picture fwas the confidence you radiate. It's the best accessory of all. You look stunning.

Yeah looking lovely doesnot need you to be size zero.

You look gorgeous and that blue is making your skin glow.

Sona, thanks for sharing your wisdom! You look wonderful, but my favorite part is your radiant smile! I love when fashion is part of building us up, with a sense of fun and confidence, and you have all of that!

Can anyone pass the kleenex? Sona, this post is the most wonderfully heartwarming read. I am so happy to see you turn a corner in terms of your mood and your confidence. Revel in your fabness - you deserve nothing less.

You look drop dead gorgeous woman. Well done!
I am glad this has been a good journey for you.
