Onederland!
Last Sunday, I made it to Onederland!!! I only told a couple of people, though---I think I was afraid if I said it out loud, it wouldn't be real. But I've stayed there all week, with the scale going down little by little, so I decided this would be a good time to make it real. What a great feeling to be here!!!!
This whole journey has been mind-boggling, as you all know. Going through clothing sizes so quickly, watching my body almost melt away, people not recognizing me---how wild!!! When I had my surgery, I was wearing tight 24s/loose 26s, and now I'm in size 16. I've lost 79 lbs!!! In just 4 1/2 months!!! I've given away 7 bags of clothes (well, 3 of them are being donated to Goodwill today) and gotten back into smaller stuff that I've held onto for years. (So glad for that---my turtlenecks fit again, so now I have a chance of being warm!! lol)
I'm loving Onederland!!!!

Whooooo hoooooo!!! ONEderland always needs new residents!!!
Your turtleneck comment made me giggle. I have a HUGE problem with things anywhere near my neck - always have. And a favorite comedian of mine has a line I LOOOOVE: Wearing a turtleneck and a back pack is like walking around being strangled by a very weak midget all day.
Enjoy your new smaller, warm clothes! Your weight AND your clothing size both begin with ONE now! How cool!

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses.
