Almost single didgets... and expecting more...

Well October bud's, I am in a size 10. I don't see or feel it yet, but the reality is that of all 14 outfits I tried on today all but 3 were a size 10 and to tell ya the truth the 12's were a bit "big". No, I didn't purchase a single item. Go figure! I am bigger in the waist than i would like and this flabby feeling all over my body has got to go. I can't stand my back... it seems bumpy like the fat deposits are just hanging on in the folds or something. I did enjoy seeing the size 10, but it just didn't look as good as i thought it would when i was a size 24 immagining what a 10 would look like. I think i was seeing myself 20 years ago and maybe in a 6 ... that is a "toned up 6". Gosh i got to get to the gym... REALITY CHECK!!! Will I ever be 100% in like with this body? Will you with yours?

Hi Judy, Well I am excited for you! A size 10; HOW WONDERFUL! Reality Check Question? Did you have surgery for health reasons or did you not like the way you looked? If for Health Reasons are you healthier now? If for Looks then you are in charge or "toning" it up. What ever your reasons learn to LOVE YOURSELF! I think Self Love is one of the hardest gifts to give. Find a way to LOVE yourself as only you can. Congratulations on your success! Best Regards, Sharon Chute Open VBG 10.28.03 340/236/190ish

Im not sure we will ever be satisfied....i may be thinner and i know im healthier but this is still a 52 year old body and all that goes with that...i only wanted to be comfortable in a size 12 and i made it there...but some of the 12s just dont make me feel comfortable!!! go figure...but youve done great...good luck tana open rny 10/30/2003 232/155/1??

Yeah, I know. At 55 somehow I "forgot" that my body would not look or feel like it did before at a lower weight. I am thinner and a size 10-12 depending on the brand. I look like a 14 I think. It sure seems to me I looked thinner at the same weight when I was younger. Too funny. You have done great....keep at it. I am jealous you can exercise [am on exercise restrictions still...many complications] but you will look great at any age if you just keep at it. Terry
