NSV? I dunno what it is.

Yes, I feel like I'm waking from a dream. This is how I am supposed to be, but it's so alien to me. 

Hi Deanna,

Trust me and embrace that you have worked very hard to get where you are! Be proud of yourself walking into that gym!  When I first started to loose weight 7 yrs ago weighing 600lbs and walking into a gym that's all I could think about....going there being a smaller version of who I was. I finally got there loosing 347lbs then developing heart problems and gaining much if it back.

Despite the fact that you have a new tool doesn't mean you didn't put in a lot of hard work to loose the weight. You can do it!!!

And you thought I was gonna stick to the VSG page didn't you? LOL

Deanna,

I know the feeling!

 I decided I would rejoin Facebook last week--bad, bad decision!  Made my page private--friends of friends could view--I had 250 friend requests from men I do not know!!!  Needless to say, I requested Facebook to delete my page.  

I am the same woman from a year ago and I don't see what others see.....

I woke up to 2 friend requests from people I didn't know. It was annoying.  I can't imagine getting 250!  Sheesh. 

THIS.....sooooooo THIS!!  I don't even know how to explain this weird feeling to most people.  I am glad I am not the only one, we can be weird together!

I too still look in the mirror and don't recognize the person staring back at me.  I've actually been called the skinny one!!  Even though I still have 27 more lbs. to lose to be in the "normal" category.  Today one of my coworkers has on the cutest pair of leggings.  (Love me some leggings!)  She said to go to Marshalls.  I told her that I doubt I'd fit in them like her.  I think she's thin.  She told me they were a large.  That's what I wear!!!  I was shocked!  So, I guess I'm not as "off" as I think I am.
