new pics - i can finally tell a difference

Thanks.  I'm excited to finally be able to tell the difference!

Way to go!! You can definately see the difference

Denise, good job girl!  Keep it up!  Jacqui is so right about seeing the fat person in the mirror sometimes.  I have a hard time with that.  Im 6 months out and still cant tell you what size I wear.  My clothes sizes have gone from a 28/30 to an 18 but I struggle with it in my head.  My family and friends tell me to quit wearing the baggy clothes but I can't convince myself that I am smaller yet. 

Measuring inches helps a lot too.  When I stall, I still lose inches so it helps to keep my spirits up.

I am proud of you!!! 

Huge Hugs,
Tracy

Ya know.  I'm really weird with regards to body image.  No matter what size I am, I always see the same person in the mirror.  Oddly enough, it's not the big fat person that I see.  Even at my heaviest, I never knew how big I really was.  It's only when I see pictures that I realize my size.  I guess that's just another version of a distorted body image problem, but pictures are very important for me to be able to see myself.  Weird, huh?

WOW, you look awesome.  Keep up the good work.
