I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!

I got on the scale this morning and for the first time in whole entire adult life I HAVE A NORMAL BODYWEIGHT!!  That's right, I hit goal today and I have a normal BMI.  I don't KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF.  This is soooooo freakin' weird!!!

YEAH SHIRLEY!!!  So very awesome!  go out and celebrate...buy yourself a special piece of jewelry to mark the occasion....buy a new outfit...or two...or three!!  JUMP AROUND AND DANCE. 

I am so happy for you.

I bought myself a Belly Dancing Video this morning.  Gonna try it!!  Funny you said jump around and dance.  I have such a hard time putting in time at the gym, because that's how I think of it, but I've always loved to dance.  I might also go and buy a new outfit.  My husband's Christmas Party is this Saturday so...built in excuse, right?

Thanks for the kind words.

that is so cool.  I never even thought of that....I might look for a dance video myself!!  And definately go out and by that outfit...the sexier the better  

It was so nice meeting you in the meeting the other day.  I love putting a face to a name!!!

Congratulations Shirley.  Isn't it the best feeling?????

I think it will be the best feeling when I get it into my head that I'm not fat anymore.  I still think of myself as fat unless I'm really paying attention to my thoughts.  Freakin' AMAZING!!

Thanks for the kind words.

It may take awhile for your head to catch up with your body.  Just this morning, I saw a pic of myself taken here at work on Monday.  It was a group shot of about 8 of us who participated in a cookie swap.  I still tried to get in the back of the group as usual (to hide).  I wasn't successful so I ended up near the front row.  But funny thing is that I was the smallest person in the whole group.  That really shocked me because I still feel like the fat lady in the room!

It's definitely going to be a while.  I still get startled if I walk by a mirror and catch a glimpse of myself.  I just have to keep telling myself I'm not fat.

What a great accomplishment!  Feels great doesn't it!?

I found when I met goal I wanted to take off more LBS... Almost like I always need a goal to shoot for. I don't stress about losing anymore but I still feel like i need something to shoot for!  I must just be weird like that. 

Enjoy our success and go stare at yourself in the mirror!!!

I'm going to see Jacquie next week to talk about, among other things, fine tuning my expectations for weight.  This has crossed my mind often.  I've spent my whole life trying to lose weight or trying to keep from gaining weight.  Now I have to MAINTAIN.  This is going to be interesting because I've never been in this place before.

Thanks for the kind words.  They mean a lot.
