20+ pounds gone, and I'm the person in the mirror (with pict

Before I started losing weight, I had this strange disconnect from the person that I'd see in the mirror. In my mind, I never looked like her; I was supposed to be this petite, cute brunette, and whoever it was who was looking at me when I was looking at the mirror was not me. Earlier this week, I had a strange experience when I looked at myself in the mirror and realized that all of the sudden, the person looking back it me actually looks like the image of me that I have in my mind.
So here are a couple photos. I'm not done yet-- I still think I'd like to drop another seven or so pounds-- but I'm liking where things are going so far.
BEFORE (at somewhere around 150lbs, size 8-10 in pants, size medium in shirts):

NOW (at 127lbs, wearing size 4 jeans and a size small shirt):

(edit: huh, apparently I'm kind of an idiot and can't get the pictures to work.)
(edit: I think this will work now, woo!)

Just change the IMG to img (lower case) at both ends0 -
