What's a Girl to Do?

Hi everyone! I am feeling so strange today. I went shopping last night with my daughter and my clothing size has changed. I can't believe that when I started this journey I wore a size 36. Last night I tried on a size 28 and guess what? It fit and I actually had quite a bit of room in it. I am so happy about that. The funny thing is I don't see the change when I look at myself in the mirror. What's up with that? I guess the inches are coming off. I refuse to estimate on what my weight is now. Too many scales and two many different weights. I only hope that I have lost atleast another 10 pounds before I go back to see Doc on the 10th. Well, I've kept you enough. Have a great day! Get those exercises in! Be happy with your "weightloss journey", and be thankful for everything. God bless! 359/300/?

That girl is to revel in the fact that she's changing and just accept it! I know we don't always see the change in ourselves. I didn't see mine either. Even though I'm down several sizes and everyone is commenting on it, I just don't see it myself. But you do LOOK different, you can be sure. It wasn't till I did some work on my pics to post on my profile that I really noticed the difference. After looking at them and working with the pics, I saw it more objectively. And I'll be darned.... I'm not as big as I used to be. And I'm even smaller now, because the clothes I had on in the 3 month pics are starting to hang too. Life is good, isn't it? Windy/Pat

Evelyn, Some times I can't see the change either. What has really helped is that I have taken photos each month. Last night I did photos (front, both sides, and back) and then compare them to photos of a year ago. It is really an eye opening. Also have been tracking measurements. You are right, there is much to be thankful for in this journey. Congratulations on your successes, you are doing GREAT. Mary
