Happy Saturday !

Hello everyone. I just wanted to gloat a little so bear with me. When I went to get my lab work done last week, the lady checking me in said I had beautiful skin and asked if that was because of the surgery. I said no..I don't think so...I am just the way I am..(Never thinking I had beautiful skin). My skin is so dry and flaky..especially in the winter. ANYWAY...Today, at my Barix monthly meeting one of the women in our group said I look great...and that I look like I feel good. I am one of these people that don't like to go outside of the house without make-up. Maybe my skin has a glow to it that I don't see? Anyhoo...Today is a good day...compliments, feeling good, and sunny (and cold) ...gotta love Michigan (LOL)....AND....then it happened...I caught a glimpse of myself in a mirror at Blockbuster....I ...ME...MYSELF..I can actually SEE the difference in me. Baggy clothes..crotch down to knees...literally...I think I need new pants finally. I am scared to give up the baggy clothes though... I still have a LOT to lose...but it's working!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SMILEY IN MICHIGAN... Mandie

Wow sounds like you are having a great day! I understand not wanting to give up the familar baggy pants I have a few pair that just look stupid on me, but they are comfortable, and Im not really ready to buy new ones I think Im afraid of not fitting into a small enough size yet, but when it feels right to you you will buy the smaller pants, any way enjoy all the compliments Lisa M Jones

You won't miss the pants when they're gone!! Don't throw them out though! You need a pair of fat pants for a refrence point later on. Go buy yourself some clothes, girl! You deserve it! My skin looks 100% better than it did pre-op. It's all of the water and milk that I am drinking. I'll bet that's the secret trick for you too. I'm so happy for you Mandie! C Leigh

That's great news Mandie. You are a goddess! Andrea

Mandie, congratulations girl!! You are doing so great! Doesn't it feel wonderful to see the changes in you yourself? That's so awesome!!! Take care hun! Lisa

Im glad it finally hit you!!! It ISSSS working!! And throw those pants out! When you buy smaller clothes that fit well, you'll really really notice a difference.

^-^-^ I sooo agree with Tiffany! Once you get into a smaller size, you won't want to go back to a bigger size! It will be like torture to even put them on! Plus, it's incentive! Glad things are going good for you Mandie!!

What a GREAT day you had! WOOHOO!! It feels so great to get those kinds of compliments. It's a real eye opener when you can finally see it and CLAIM it in yourself! Go shopping! You deserve it! WOOHOO!! HUGS Kimberly
