NSV-- Hugs... :)

mltdown

So, i'm not a bragger at all, but I was so overly excited about this I have to tell the world!
Today I saw a friend I haven't seen in over 9 months and she came to hug me. Then she said the most nice/ hurtful thing anyone has ever said to me. "I can fit my arms all the way around you and touch my own elbows!!!". Ok, yes I was happy that my waist is getting smaller, but it still hurt to know how much I had let myself go before. It has taken me sooooo long to realize my own progress because I still feel like the same funny fat person I have always been, but now im a skinny funny person! I have people I don't even know asking me how much weight I have lost, but it didn't really hit me until my close friends started commenting on my progress. Just in case your wondering, I have went from a size 26/28 to a loose 12 and i'm going to go buy smaller pants tomorrow I love the way I look and cant wait to see how I will look after I lose my last 60 pounds!!! Yay for NSV its what keeps me going!

Congratulations.....

I am so glad that weightloss is not about being skinny...but a healthy lifestyle change that we all can enjoy and have fun ...

I know I wish more people had fun working out and being healthy instead of being so serious about it!

Wow! You're really awesome!

I can't wait to get out of my size 24 jeans... I'm going to ceremonially burn them as I'm NEVER going back there again! People have commented on my weight loss thus far - apparently I've lost in my face so it is noticeable, but I smaller clothes is the thing that will sway it for me! I'm 3.8lbs off losing 2 stone (28lbs) so with any luck I'll be in new jeans soon! And maybe one day a size 12 too!!
