    Thank you all, I do physically feel great, I do physically feel a huge difference. I feel more energetic and more able to be the mom I need to be for my kids and I feel like I'm better for my husband.
    You have done a fantastic job and shouldn't be discouraged.

    I have some advice about the body image issues. Before you lose that next 20lbs, spend some time at the weight you are at now. Go maintenance for awhile until you can convince yourself that you can stay this thin. I think for a lot of people it is the fear of regaining the weight that keeps our minds from grasping the new look. Just a suggestion.

    That does make sense, I'm sure if I can show myself that it's possible to maintain this, I might feel better. I think also it has to do with I'm so use to seeing my body at the photo of 205 that, that is who I see in the mirror. From the face in the mirror I see the leanness but from the breast down I see that fat girl. What's even more confusing is, I use to see a thinner girl then the one in that photo when I was at my biggest, I didn't realize I was that big till I stepped on the scale at my first OBGYN appt. at my pregnancy with my daughter. I had a eating disorder of eating because I didn't think I was as big as I was and thought I could and be ok. I guess that's how to put that. That photo (the first one) was a huge wake up call to me. I see changes in photo's it's just in my reflection. I think I'll take this advice. Thanks :)
