    Congratulations! You're still the same person, just healthier, hotter, and with more grit and discipline than before. Change is a fact of life - you chose to make a change for the better.

    My advice? Don't ever stop dressing up and looking nice! Throw the baggie stuff away....not even when you're at home. Get cute shorts and yoga pants, form fitting tops, and get out the door every day. I, for one, got his way from hiding myself...both at home and behind baggie clothes. People are looking because you look good...always...never think otherwise. Congrats on the weight loss...now lose your mind! :happy: :wink:

    You're not alone! My sister went through this when she lost 65 pounds. She looked fantastic, but her self-esteem remained low. It took a while for her confidence to catch up with her rockin' bod. Seeing a counselor helped her a lot.

    Congrats on your weight loss! Hang in there. :flowerforyou:

    This happened to me. I lost a TON of weight and I still saw the same fat girl. Depression got really bad and I gained ALL of it back, plus more.

    I am both terrified and determined losing the weight another time around.

    I'm trying to get that girl back (visible in my ticker) and when she's here I will tell her she is gorgeous!
