This is an absolutely fabulous feeling I can't wait to feel!

Congratulations!

Thanks, everyone! My self-esteem has always been pretty awful, so this was a really big deal for me today.

heidiberr

This makes me so happy--you are beautiful inside and out--glad that you are finally starting to see the outside

Ephena

That's awesome! :flowerforyou: You have every right to be very proud. I can really relate to not liking what you see in the mirror, I hope I reach your NSV soon.

_GlaDOS_

This is such an awesome feeling to have! I am so happy for you. Glad your brain is catching up! :drinker:

IpuffyheartHeelsinthegym

XXXMinnieXXX

Must feel just amazing! X

yasdnilear

:drinker: Yay for seeing what everyone else sees!

(Well, maybe not everyone else in the sense that we're not spying on you while you're getting dressed... or are we?)

haha and yeah!

Also, my butt looked great.

I say you are a beautiful and phenomenal woman, but, um, do we have pictoral proof of this ^^^?

Maybe... but MFP has a no-nudity policy. :blushing:

Congratulations! Everything can now fall into place and the "new you" can enjoy the rest of the lifestyle you have chosen to live. I'm very happy for you! Many of us benefit by hearing this experience.

This Is The Best NSV Ever. Congratulations!!

This is AWESOME! I can only hope to have this much confidence in myself when I get to where I want to be. You truly are an inspiration I always look to your status/posts to give me a boost throughout the day!

If an end goal existed in this struggle, THAT would be it. Kudos to you for coming so incredibly far

Florawanda

Brilliant that you have done so well, and given hope to us all to persevere, especially with the exercise - if/when I get to the stage of having loose skin, it will be a great encouragement to know it can go! One of the few compensations of being underweight has been the lack of wrinkles, so that most people think I am 50 or 60 and were gobsmacked to know I had my 70th last year!

Send via PM...it's OK if the person wants to receive it. I want!

I don't believe you!!! You should post pics for us to make sure you're seeing things clearly. Just saying!

No nekkid pics, but I'm showing more than enough skin in these:



(that last one was its very own NSV - I've never felt confident in a bathing suit in my entire life!)

Wonderful job! Our own inner voice can be one of our worst enemies. Glad to hear you conquered yours.
Hope to break my own ticker in the next few weeks. :bigsmile: Thks for posting.

So awesome Keep being nice to yourself, you deserve it!

adjones_21

WTG...Fanfreakintastic!!! You look awesome. I am just waiting for my brain to play catch up. I still see 355 lbs when I look in the mirror.

beckyhope

This is where I struggle the most. My brain doesn't "see" the awesome changes. Maybe I can hope that in time, like you I will be able to actually catch up and feel great all the time. You look fabulous!

JoyceJoanne

I am SO proud of you for seeing it and believing in yourself! Glad you can see whatwe have been seeing for a while. Course... clothes DO make a huge difference. Maybe it comes along with being happy. Happy with who you are inside and out.

I am still struggling with this.... daily! I'm working on seeing more of the progress that I have made instead of seeing the "heavy" girl... Someday I will get there, just as you have.

Fantastic job my friend!! High5!

Bermudabarbie

I think the fact that you are always updating your pictures helps as well. You are looking and feeling so fit and awesome. Great job, Cory!

_Bob_

That's what you get for sticking with it and kicking so much *kitten*. way to go!

Have I mentioned lately that I have the best MFPals in the world?

Normalg

Awesome milestone. I've got 45 to go but have lost 137. I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN

Congratulations, Cory!

You have been one of my biggest inspirations over the past year while I've been on this healthy journey (and admittedly lurking on the forums).

It's so wonderful to hear that in addition to sculpting yourself a fantastically healthy and beautiful body, you're gaining the self esteem to see yourself for who you truly are.

May many additional wonderful self-discoveries come your way as you continue on this journey. ^_^

P.S. A special congrats about your butt. That particular body part is one of the areas I'm still working on.
