NSV: My family was awesome!

Hi. I promised to follow up on my visit to see my family. They had not seen me since I had lost all the weight and I was nervous about it to see if they would notice or be disappointed in the fact that I still have quite a few curves despite my loss.

So for the record: You were all RIGHT. They were amazing. My sister said it was like I was going back in time and looked like I did 20 years ago and my parents couldn't quit hugging me. My brother also was great and told me he was really proud of me. (This was huge as he is not one to express feelings.)

They were also great about my continuing to eat low-carb and pass on the rolls and other sweets in the house and let me continue my exercises as well. I had the chance to go on three bike rides with my sister too! She races competitively so it was really slow for her, but a great workout for me. In the three rides we went about 40 miles.

My sister gave me some shirts for Christmas and we were both thrilled to discover that the ones she picked out were way too big. She went with me to pick out some new ones. (Actually I am wearing a couple of them in my new profile pic.)

I am so blessed to have such a great family.

The coolest thing is that when I got home, I weighed myself and found I had lost two pounds during the week! Woohoo!

I am sorry for the delay in putting this follow-up, but I have been having some computer issues and finally got it resolved tonight.

Thank you all for being so great and supportive.

I think I missed the post that led up to this one. But it sounds like you have a wonderful family who values and appreciates you. And supports you! That part is so important, and it's wonderful that you received that from all of them. I'm very happy for you!

Glad to see the reception was not what you dreaded but what you hoped for!

Keep up the good work!
