WoW! Updated pics!

I finally got around to updating pics and was shocked at seeing the before and after pics together.  I still can't stop looking in the mirror and feeling like I'm looking at a stranger.  Now, however, I also can't recognise myself in the before photos.  I wonder when I'll finally feel like I know myself.  I need to go clothes shopping and when I pick up a pair of size fours I think for certain that they wouldn't fit over one leg, that they look like kids clothes. My husband shops with me or I would never take something off of the rack to try it on.  I need an evening gown for New Year's Eve.  It's a daunting prospect to shop for something like that with my new body.  Before, I bought whatever I could get to fit.  When did you finally learn to pick something off the rack and feel like it was right for you, knew that it would fit and would look good?

Wow wow wow wow That cannot be the same person!!!!!!!!!!!! you look soooo different.  You look amazing - well done, you have obviously worked hard to get where you are. I know what you mean about the clothes.  I'm not as small as you yet, but am so used to just buying what fit before wls, and now I have a choice I really don't know what to choose, so end up not buying anything! Hope you find something abosolutley fantastic for your evening gown (and don't forget to take some pics)

You look amazing too!  It's almost unbelievable. Isn't it?  I still have a ways to go, but I'm thriled with the changes so far.  Thanks for sharing in my excitement.  Sharon

Sharon, you look great. I still bring several sizes of each item into the changing room with me and cannot stand when clothes are the least bit baggy now. They have to fit, fit, fit. It takes forever to find things I like because I am very picky. I love being able to choose clothes that look great on me instead of the only pair that fit... I know what you mean about not recognizing yourself in the mirror or pictures. I am the same way. I try to take a lot of pictures because that seems to be the best way to get a good idea of how I look. For some reason the connection between the mirror and my brain is not as clear. The pictures really help. Have a great time looking for a gown. Pretend you're Cinderella!!
