I've been revising my goal since I hit my huge original goal of 175. It literally had never occurred to me that I could ever have a 'normal' BMI. But then I was like holy ****maybe it's possible! Well today I hit 149 which puts me at a BMI of 24. And that's officially NORMAL! How is that even possible? 63 to 24?!

I went Christmas shopping with my Mom this weekend and I bought a size 4 pair of jeans! I was wearing a size 26/28 previously. I bought a small sweater - which was an anomaly, I'm mostly wearing mediums - but omg.

I started my new job today and it's bizarre to me that they will never know me as fat. So weird.

Wow, that's awesome!! I am so happy for you, Mute :) Congratulations!

I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

Yay you are such a superstar! I'm just fitting into an 8, so a 4 is like a dream for me. I hope your first day at the new job was great.

I ran into 2 people that I knew from my last company, but neither one of them remembered who I was. Probably because I look entirely different, lol.

I guess I should be clear that I don't actually care about the size I fit into, but it just about floored me when I pulled them on and they fit! My way way way more important care is that my health is still so much better :)

Lol at them not recognizing you!
