Revising your image in your mind...
It's funny (or maybe not so much so) how hard it is to revise the image we have of ourselves as we lose weight. Or I have as I'm losing weight. I've lost 16 pounds since I started this journey on here. More than that since 2006, but that's been slower and not as controlled or thought out. I know that 2 Halloween costumes I…
