Why do I let those weight loss ads get to me?

So I'm running thru the sunday paper thinking I need to buy new clothes from my weight loss and stare right at the latest 1/2 page advertisement screaming..

"I lost 70 lbs and went from a size 22 to a size 6" next to the full scale sexy picture.

I instantly got depressed and figured now is not a good time to go buy anything new.

How is this size possible? I've lost 50 lbs and have done toning and I've gone from a size 22 to a size 18,Maybe large if it's the right cut. Another 20 lbs and I'll be down into a 6??? Impossible.

I'm trying to stay focused on my success and not concentrate on the size, but really??? To get into a size 6 I would need to lose another 100 lbs.

Has anyone lost 70 lbs and gone down 8 dress sizes? Is this at all realistic?
