Just caught a glimpse of

myself in the window at Walmart....and I liked what I saw!!! I actually saw a thinner me! I FINALLY saw a thinner me! I actually looked at the image and thought, hey, you're looking pretty good! I saw the image and thought "I've really slimmed down and look pretty damm good!" Is it finally hitting me??? I think SO! It's taken SO long, but I think my mind is catching up. Just hope the window wasn't distorted, like my brain! After that image in the window, I strutted through the store like I was hot Sh*t!!! My jeans are a bit baggy but feel good on me...I feel good! Went to Lane Bryant the other night and had to buy the SMALLEST size shirt they sell! A 14/16!!! That's been a LONG time coming. I had to actually shuffle through all of the BIG sizes and bypass them for the small ones! YEEE HAAA!! Last year it was 30/32's I loved one pair of shorts that I tried on, but refuse to spend 40 dollars on a pair of shorts that I'll be outgrowing in just one month. NO WAY. Seeing Dr Aranow this Wednesday morning for an overdue 6 month appt. It's 8 months now. THeir card was slow in coming to me in the mail. I hope he's pleased with my weight loss (105 lbs) as I am. Paula ps. gotta get this pix changed. Even I now know I don't look like that anymore!

Good for you Paula!!! I love to hear things like this. Keep up the good work! Bree

LMAO you go girl!!!!!!! I too had a WOW moment this weekend in the dressing room at the Avenue store- I too will not be able to shop there much longer. I needed a nice pair of black capris for wearing to the casino on Thursday- so I grabbed a pair of 22 and 20- oops too big- grabbed a pair of 18's probably could have done 16 but wanted to make sure they were a little loose- I just stood there staring at myself inthe mirror and nearly cried. I am 1 pound away from ONEDERLAND and 3 from the Century Club- I am just in awe......I need to see you- come Tuesday!!!!!!PLEASE!!!!!!!

One of the best parts of losing weight is realizing that you don't have to go to the "big gal" store anymore. I get coupons for Lane Bryant and other such stores all the time but I refuse to go. I still wear a size 14 shirt but I just like the idea that I don't NEED to shop there anymore. And besides there are much less expensive places to shop now. A new world of shopping is opening up for you. Yippee!!!

Atta Girl Paula!! Be proud of what you have accomplished and the next time Lane Bryant or any of those other stores sends you a catalog just smile and toss that puppy in the tra****ake Care,

That is great news! It reminded me about this special moments from last year. Thank you for remind me! Enjoy your summer clothes this summer Take care, Kathy K

Awesome paula!!!!!!!! Cyndee
