Using a regular towel and having it fit all the way around was one of my goals.  I have made it!

 My top five  

1 )  no more diabetes or metabolic disorder 

2)  making friends with my body - i listen to her and don't overeat and she doesnt try to blow up  like  a balloon at every opportunity ! 

3) feeling  both competent and beautiful on a daily basis  ..  not having to trade ... and  waking up feeling POWERFUL and strong  ....and healthy 

4) getting married , finishing my longstanding projects and bumping up my income (  soon soon) 
    just feeling HOPEFUL  and positive every day ...

5) my dreams  suddenly feel much closer ,much more attainable .... in a way its SCARY  in a way its TOTALLY EXCITING >>>>

There are so many, but here are 6:

1. Increased sense of well-being, hopefulness, and increased energy level.

2. Going shopping in my closet for old clothes that started fitting, but are now too big.

3. Being able to cross my legs.

4. Feeling like I am in control and not food.

5. Able to exercise and actually enjoying it.

6. Enjoying all the positive comments from people. It feels good.

I know what you mean about the change in relationship with food, Gail.  It is so much more peaceful now.

Here's my top 5 so far: 

1.  The improvements in my health
2.  My waist has returned
3.  I only have one *****My sister's words)
4.  No longer dreading airplane seats
5.  My greater appreciation for my DH.  He's loved me through thick and thin.  I never gave him enough credit for loving me.  I don't always make it easy for him.
