    ♦ When my sexy underwear started to fit like outside shorts
    ♦ When I was able to feel my ribcage for the first time ever

    You should know how great you look.
    I'm still waiting for that moment.

    This girl is certifiably hot.
    I'm still technically fat but yeah, still waiting to feel less so. I legit asked my sister this weekend if my mirror made me look smaller than I am because I just cannot compute

    You're technically stunning.
    I am waiting to hit that. But I I recently started fitting into Junior plus. I am no longer stuck at shopping at the BIG girl stores. Which helps my wallet

    Only store you need to be shopping at is the SEXY girl store.
    I'll let you know when it happens. Old mental patterns are hard to break.

    Break that **** hard, because you are every different kind of gorgeous.


    Because I just couldn't stand by while such amazing women felt bad about the way they look.
    (also I don't care how much I lost, I still feel like a fat goblin 90% of the time. Shut up. You won't change my mind)

    Just last night I went to a concert and the seats were narrow and close together. With my sweater shoved on one side of me and my purse on the other I still had wiggle room. I was comfortable and when I looked down at my lap I finally saw my thinner self.

    I've had people not recognize me but i think it happened when i took a new job recently. We were having an office conversation about food and I chimed in with my 2 cents and at the end i said, "you can trust me, i'm a fat kid". The girl who sits next to me, just looks at me and says, "you're not fat". It hit me then that my fat kid credentials have been revoked.

    I was doing laundry and I took jeans out of the dryer. I started to fold them and was tring to figure out whos they were they were so small. Then I realized they were mine! I have gone from a size 46-48 waist to a size 33 so it really hit home then.

    It finally hit me the other day that I wasnt fat anymore! I saw my shadow, looked down at it and smiled so big. I still have a few little areas to work on but for the most part I am so happy!!! Im down about 40lbs in a year and for being a shortie (5'2") that was a lot of weight to hold onto. Gonna keep it off and enjoy looking at the new beautiful me.

    When all of my modern clothing became too big I replaced almost everything. Then, the replacement clothes became too big. I didn't want to spend any more until I stopped losing weight. So I dug through my really old clothes, which were from college, when I was lean, and they fit very well.

    That's when I knew.

    Good for you! CONGRATS!!!!!!! :flowerforyou:

    Yes, indeed! I was at home.... content with being fat, left out, looked over, and INVISIBLE. I was the one who made fun of myself to pretend it did NOT hurt, or phrase me. But, NOW..... I have seen the light.

    I realized that I was getting pretty thin when I felt my bones protruding one night in bed. I'd never had such memories before..... I could only recall myself feeling like I was too big for my little Full sized bed, and would need to upgrade soon or risk falling taking a tumble. :noway:

    Now, by the Grace of God..... I see that I can fully let go of my own prejudices against myself and be totally FREE. I was 400 lbs but now I am 200..... and I am staying on this Journey. I will level out between 180 and 190 because I don't want to be much smaller and began looked boney. I am Happy with how I look now, but I have a strong desire to secure that 15 pound security gap. When I've secured that goal..... I will be able to embrace the new me.... and put my scales away for a spell. I will weigh like once a month then. After being on this Journey all these months; and learning new good habits, and breaking the chains of those old bad habits I feel so awesome that I truly believe the chains of Obesity are forever broken in my life. its quite an accomplishment... To God be the GLORY! All I really did was embrace His plan..... and allow him to Bless me.

    Food has new healing meaning to me nowadays. I have no desire to eat a bucker of friend chicken.... and can barely eat one baked chicken breast now. Believe me - Thats a MIRACLE!

    When I go to the store I make better food choices, and I am fully activated as my own Health advocate. I am a NEW person..... and my body image has improved so much..... and I am still transforming.

    I look and feel super awesome now..... I am no longer faking it!!!

    From size 42 to 14 is no joke!!! Its a BLESSING! A GIFT..... and it truly keeps on giving!

    It feels good!!!!!! MFP.com Rocks!!!!!! They are a great & true part of my amazing story.

    Still trying to wrap my head around what I think I am :smile:

    I still feel chubby, of course I didn't realize I was fat until I started losing weight :frown:

    Over the weekend I was cleaning out my closet and found some of my tiny daughters clothes and figured I would try them on for fun . . . the pants fit me (though not a style I would wear) and the tops fit, in fact I incorporated the tops into my stuff :happy:

    Pants size 4 and top size Small - I think I feel fat because I am caught up with the numbers on the scale I am 5'2" and weigh 158 lbs. I hope in time it will get better :indifferent:

    I don't think realize how gorgeous you are! Seriously, I would NEVER think fat when I look at you!

    Something you should be saying while looking in a mirror JP.

    Touche :blushing:

    I was sitting in my car itching my knee or something, and I noticed how different my legs felt. They felt so much more lean and that's when it hit me! One of the best feelings in the entire world.

    I had a moment similar to this when i went to tie my shoes and realized how much easier it was to reach my feet.
