I took monthly progress pictures on my monthly anniversary, as well as took my measurements. I kept them on a spreadsheet so I could see my progress - and that definitely helped when I got frustrated. I'd go back and see my progress thus far and know its working!
And what Gina said about the window reflection - yep - it will happen! That's such an awesome moment when it does!

the litle tender fragile skin is ALL that supports em !!
its taken me a YEAR literally to own my new weight .. its REALLY strange isnt it .... im just finally feeling safe enough in my new sizing to clean my closets out of mys size eights and sixes lol ....
and STILL i pick things up and say thats going o be WAY too small and put them on and they either FIT or maddeningly are TOO LARGE ...... and i never even got to wear em on the way down !! grrrrr
If you have a bunch of 8s and 6s you're getting ready to clean out of your closet...
May I have them? ;)
I need clothes. I'll be done with the 10s in a few days. (How many days, not sure. But it's days rather than several weeks, I believe...)
AND, after the 10s, I will have no more clothes. :( And clothes matter to me!

I'm over 2 yrs out and I still don't see the full picture!! I don't remember when I started to see it. I tried to stay in clothes that fit me. I hate to see people when they wear clothes too big or too small!! I try to explain to the girls I work with, how I perceive myself. They laugh and shake their head. I tried to tell the that I don't think of myself as having blond hair (of course its dyed blond), I think its lighter brown!! They started asking our customers what color hair I had, they made a face (like duh), then said blond!! I also told the one girl that I thought my thighs were he same size as hers (she is normal weight). She said "NO THEY ARE NOT, you got skinny ass legs!". So we sat down and measured our thighs.......mine are about 3 inches smaller than hers (Oops)!! It took me just over a year to start picking up clothes that fit me at the store. I was still looking in the bigger sizes.
I noticed it the most in my clothing size. When my sizes were going down, I was getting amazed!! I couldn't believe those sizes fit me!! I didn't see it, but it felt Oh so good!!
