Hello all, I think Im having a bit of body dysmorphia going on here because even though I have lost 70 pounds I still just see myself as really huge. Anyways I got a wakeup call last night that showed me how much smaller I really am now. 

I had to put a bunch of my clothes and other stuff in storage right before my surgery (long story) anyways I was finally able to go get everything out last night, and the first thing I did was get out my favorite shirt.  Now before surgery this shirt came down to my hips and was very snug on them. I would have to keep pulling it down because in reality it didn't fit me to well. I actually thought to myself that this shirt will fit pretty well now and I won't have to tug it down anymore. LOL I really have to stop thinking of myself as that large!

I put the shirt on, and I was swimming in it! Not only do I not have to keep tugging on the hem anymore, it is so large on me that now the hem falls 2 inches below my hips! wow i was in total shock. I really do not see myself as that much smaller. Also a pair of pants i havn't fit into since highschool now fits me! Anyways as soon as I get some pictures I'll post them

What a great acknowledgment!  Our minds seem to get in the way of seeing our progressions.  Good job, Shasta. . .
