Today was a BIGGIE!!!! It is so cold here in Northeast Pa. already,there were actually snow flurries! my sister in law gave me a huge box of winter sweaters with smaller sizes in it most were medium and large,when she gave it to me I figured I would most likely not get to that size until the end of the season or next year,well I went digging looking for maybe a oversized sweater,I have absolutely NO winter clothing!! well I picked up this one sweater which was a large and thought NO WAY in H**LL is that gonna fit,my husband said try it anyway it looks like it would fit,that through me for a loop first,I guess I just don't see what others see yet. Well low and behold it fit perfect!!!! and was not tight on me! I thought OMG I am actullaly wearing a NORMAL size sweater not PLUS size anymore! I just stood there with tears in my eyes I could not believe it!! I still can't believe it! it is so hard to comprehend how 4 months ago I was a size 4X top and a 30/32 pants! I am also in a size 16 jeans!! well needless to say my day is made!! I really needed to share this great moment with you all! Thanks for listning! I am so proud of all of you as well! ((hugs)) Nancy

That's really cool (about the elevator)! And,, yes, crossing the legs after so much time not! Great!

I'm so glad I ran on to this post. I feel the same way you do. I measure my food so I don't over eat, but I could eat a lot more. I'm not getting hungry in between meals, but if I don'****ch myself, I can definitely eat more. After reading all these posts, I feel so much better. I still dump, so that's good. But I am tolerating milk products a little better.

A total stranger in the elevator told me that he thought I was beautiful. Now I blush every time I see him. Another: I took some nude before pictures, then recently took some comparison nude pictures. MAN what a difference! You can really tell how small my tummy and butt has gotten! My face has really lost weight. WOW! Another: I was sitting in our recliner the other day and my husband said, "Wow, you're crossing your leggs?" I didn't even realize I was doing it! I haven't done that in years!!!
