catching up to what my body has been doing! So, my mind really has taken this long to catch up with my weight loss I don't know why I thought my mind would just instantly be like..."okay, now you're 104 pounds lighter, so I'm totally going to change immediately!" I have to remember that my I was morbidly obese for about 15 years and that my mind changed from that of a healthier, thinner me to that of a person that was morbidly obese. Now, based on my height and the scale I now fall in the obese category, and I'll take that. People comment on how I look all of the time...that I look skinny and really good...and the way I feel about myself has been changing, but it has taken time.

Change is hard no matter what kind of change it is. I will admit that I don't hate the way I look OR feel anymore, and I'm more comfortable in my own skin, and the reason is I've worked on myself from the inside out. The way I look on the outside is a direct reflection on how I feel on the inside. Not that it's always a cake walk, but I'm FINALLY enjoying life BECAUSE I finally love myself enough to enjoy it.

    ok snowflake, I am very happy for and proud that you have lost your weight. do you have any pointers for someone struggling in the losing of the weight cause it is so hard for me, with 4 kids life stress, and about to start school plus I am morbidly obese i mean big as a house 375lbs. I love myself somedays but the other days I am on that haterade. i give good advice to others but never look at myself as deserving that good advice or practice what I preach.If you hvae any pointers please let me no I would be glad for your input.

    Thank you so much for posting this. I have seen people on here with HUGE losses, but I don't think I've seen anyone over 100lbs. As you can see 100lbs is my goal, and seeing your post just confirms IT'S DOABLE, thank you!!!!
