Cross post VSG/CA forums: I am Beautiful

Who the hell knew? Not me that for sure.

OK let me explain.

I was on my way home from work. And my seven year old had a baseball game last night. So as I go rushing into my house at 10 mins to 5pm (his game is at 5:30pm) I need to make a "pit stop". I dash off to the bathroom as I am washing my hands and my face from some make up I glance up and see myself in the mirrior.

I noticed my cheek bones are more noticable and my face is slim and more long and narrow. Since I was about 15/16 I have had a nice round full face.

My hair was a mess, my face wet and half with make up and half with out. I stood there feeling my face as if I had just had facial reconstruction and seeing myself for the first time. I was amazed.

Good for you on recognizing that. You are for sure a beautiful person inside and out. I am so glad to have met you through this process.

Hi hun how ya feeling. Thanks so much for your kind words. I was just so shocked to see myself again.

It is exciting seeing ourselves change. I am sure that there will be more of these moments for sure.

I am doing ok for now. I am just trying to cope but all in all everything is going pretty good.

Talk to you soon.

*hugs*

This is just the beginning of many, many wow moments! It is amazing! Congratulations! I still sometimes have to take a double look to make sure it is me!
