Question

they dont call this a journey for nothing that is for certain.... so many changes... disbelief that it is working.. .disbelief that what once fit doesn't now... and a sincere belief that we will soon get back into those clothes.... i am sohappy that you are on this journey, cuz you deserve it... when you are ready you will carry on... it will come and this will only be a memory... i am so happy for you and your success... it is a wonderful gift and we are so blessed tohave had it... so you get out there in your big clothes or in your small ones and be the best you, that you can be.... tammy

This is an awesome thread... I can completely relate. Some days I feel amazing, other days, I feel terrible about myself. Unpredictable! 

Thank you all. I do the picture thing but some days its not enough! I did notice that a day roll on the back of my neck has disappeared and that made me feel good. I just wish that I could look in the mirror and see beautiful or sexy instead of fat and dumpy! I think it will take time and some compliments from people around me, not just from my hubby because he has to say that!

did you go buy those clothes?

I did go buy an outfit. I tried on size 22 pants...too big. I tried on size 20 pants...too big. I tried size 18 pants. They fit. I might have gotten away with a 16 in that style, but the 18 worked! And I got an xl sleeveless top. Very dressy. I also got one of those sweater capes to go over it. That's what I'm wearing to the Christmas party on Friday. My hubby and my friends said I looked really small. That made me feel great. Took a picture but I didn't like how it turned out with the lighting so I will get hubby to take one Friday

I am soooo proud of you for getting the new clothes!!!You deserve to celebrate all your success.
