Well, I've been on in awhile, So I thought I'd bring you all up to date.  I know, You've been waiting for this moment for months! LOL

Anywhoo... I reached my goal! YIPEE! I began this journey at 371 and now weight in anywhere from 197 to 199 (depending on the day) I'll take it! LOL!

After years of searching, I found a wonderful man.. He doesn't care about my rolls and flabby loose skin. I honestly believe he doesn't see it at all.  (no, he's not blind) We've been dating since October and things are going really good.  Wonderful in fact.

I have more issues with how my body looks than he does. How crazy is that?? I'm critical now than I was at 371.  What???? Yep, It's true. Going to support group tonight to talk about it. 

Have a wonderful day my peeps!
Chat ya later

Congratulations on reaching goal weight!!!!  I bet that is a fantastic feeling.  Also congrats on finding that wonderful man.  I completely understand about you being more critical of your body than he is.  I'm the same way.  Michael (my wonderful guy) doesn't notice my rolls of flabby skin either.  Personally I don't know how he doesn't cause I see them but I love him for not seeing them.

Ladies... when a man loves you, you are absolutely beautiful to him, even when you don't think you are. ENJOY and EMBRACE this lovely gift!

Ledaizy, i am soooo happy for you! Congrats on the wonderful man and hitting your goal weight! You have done so very well on this journey. you should be very very proud!

Have missed hearing from you. But even i don't make it here much these days with being back in school. I am just beginning, and very overwhelmed right now, but adjusting.

Hugs!

Congrats Ledaizey.   You deserve all the best.  Enjoy the time and the changes that you have accomplished.  Huge hugs ! ! !

I understand the body image stuff.  I still see the old me at times,  My hubby loves me, no matter the size.  My co-workers say good things, I still catch myself thinking that I am larger that the spaces I am moving about in during the work shift, only to find out that there is space to spare around me.  The mind is a powerful tool, good and bad.  We have been critical of ourselve for a lifetime, this is not an easy change.
