Congratulations and WOO-HOO you! You have come so far, you deserve to celebrate with a cruise. Go enjoy your vacation and revel in your success. You deserve it, your amazing! Bon Voyage! I Am Stronger Than Myself Janice

I always felt that way too. I never saw myself as big as I was before until I saw a picture of me, my daughter and my husband at Disneyland with Baloo the bear. I looked the same size as Baloo. I still didn't see it when I looked in the mirror, only when I looked at the picture. I've always seen myself smaller, then with the compliments it kinda reinforced what I saw. But now lately, I just feel bigger than I've ever felt. Hopefully I'm almost over this stage, it's enough to drive you crazy! I Am Stronger Than Myself Janice

About a week ago I went to see my doctor about my menstral cycle and how bad I felt during that time of the month. She ordered my bloodwork and a pelvic ultra-sound. Today I got to talk to her about the results. I was so nervous!! She thinks my thyroid isn't working as hard as it should and as a result some of the symptoms I could be experienceing are fatigue and a SLOWER METABOLISM! I asked if this would explain why my weight-loss has slowed in the last 2 months and she thinks there's a relation between the two. The doctor said she can understand why something like this would happen to me considering all the weight I've lost in a relatively short amount of time. So, she prescribed a low-dose of a medication that will kick-start my thyroid AND my metabolism. I hope it gets the scale moving again. *fingers-crossed* I feel so much better,very relieved!
