First - Shelia brought me a "some day" outfit. I went home and tried on the pants as she suggested. They lacked about 3 inches of zipping. The jacket fit. (she said it would) Y'all, this outfit is a size 6!!!!!!!!!! A teeny, tiny size 6 PETITE!!! Then today, one of the young ladies I work with and go to church with brought me a picture her aunt had taken of me and my roommate at the ladies conference back in August. I look so tiny in this picture. I was shocked.  When I look in the mirror, I do not see this petite person looking back at me. I so needed this lift this morning. I was in tears comparing this picture to my before picture that I carry with me. The person in this picture glows with health and happiness. I am slowly coming to accept that this "new" person is ME!!

Susan: I don't know why but your post made me cry!  Realize that I didn't know you "before."  I have always known you as a tiny little petite woman with a great big huge heart!  You are so beautiful and I am tickled pink that you are beginning to see what the rest of us see. Kisses to your tiny little face! Freddie

Susan, I am so happy for you.  I am also jealous and can't wait to be in your position.  I haven't been on the board for long, but what stands out immediately is how you are there for everyone else...including me. Sue

Susan ~ I am SOOOO excited for you! Yes, you are the that skinny little petite woman you see looking back at you from the mirror! And the BEST part was when you said you "glow with health and happiness". THAT's what it's all about! Being skinny is just a great fringe benefit! Woo-hoo for you!      ~ Tara

Thank you for sharing my WOW with me and for all the sweet comments. I get so excited seeing the wonderful changes everyone is going through. I just have to realize that I am changing too. I'm bringing the pic with me tonight so everyone at dinner will be able to see why it is so special to me. You all will just have look beyond the huge, Venti, Starbucks latte (NF, 2 Splenda) sitting in front of me. LOL
