Daily Post--1/21/08

I didn't think I would be the one who looked in the mirror and didn't see the changes, and I'm NOT! I see the changes and the new me. I see all the ugly wrinkly skin and my huge hernias, but I know I look so much better!!! I don't flaunt it or strut my stuff, but I do enjoy selecting clothes that look good on me. Never thought I'd love the feel of form fitting clothes, but it feels great!!! hugs, Becky

I'm about 1/2 way to where I want to be as far as weightloss, having lost about 75 lbs so far. So, while I do see some changes, I don't think I look all that different. However, sometimes when I get dressed in the morning and glance into the mirror I think "wow, I do look pretty good." Then the next time I look I think "where did I lose that weight from again?" I try to make a point of noting the new sizes I wear, the places I can fit into with ease now that I couldn't before and things like that so I can constantly remind myself that I AM smaller and that those 75 lbs. have made a difference. Guess I have some work to do before my body and head meet up. Laurie

Sometimes I can see the difference in my appearance, and sometimes I cant....I guess it depends on the day!

I am feeling very good about myself. Im enjoying the loss so far. I see a thinner me and like it.

I feel so much better now that I've lost some weight, but I still feel very fat. My perception is changing slowly...

It's too soon for me to see much of a difference, but when I do, I doubt I'll have trouble accepting it.

I do feel a lot thinner than I used to be and I feel comfortable in my body. I guess I'm one who sees the glass as half full rather than half empty. But every once in awhile I look at myself and think "Oh, I'm fat"...even now being 75 pounds lighter! I don't know where tht comes from!!!!! I would feel very comfortable staying the way I am right now but if you look at my numbers...the scale says I am 170 pounds and that is just not accepted in today's world so that makes me want to lose another 20-25 pounds. Weird thinking! Jolene

When I look in the mirror nude I don't see the truly thinner me I see layers of rolls, with clothes I see a girl who looks pretty darn good. I don't like my body naked but thank God they make lots of cute clothes! So I get dressed up lots and strut what I now have, oh boy is it fun!
