Success - dumped the ex, and boosted my confidence

At the time I started this journey, I was about 152-155 lbs, and between a size 8 and size 10. He didn't find me sexually attractive something he would regularly remind me of. He would constantly make me feel TERRIBLE about myself
Well after losing 25lbs, and wasting 2.5 years on him, I finally decided to ditch 185lbs (aka. dump him). I've gained some of the weight back and now hover around 135. it's okay, and I do feel a bit self conscious, but I met someone new that is the complete opposite of my ex. My new BF has made me feel amazing and I feel more motivated than ever to continue to lose weight (ideally I'd like to be 120) - he is a little heavier than he wants to be (about 10lbs) so we are both supporting and helping one another out.
Before Christmas I went to take some boudoir shoots, and the sample print came in last night in time for my BF's b-day. I framed it and gave it to him as well as a digital camera for our trip this weekend (hiking trip)
you know what he said?? "I'm so lucky! I get to be with this girl! You look amazing!" - so, 17 lbs down from my starting weight, I feel incredible, even though I know I'm only about half way there. I guess my success has been more than just weight loss success, but success in having the confidence to dump a zero, and better my life for me.

hahaha - I will have to say.. the photographer had me do all sorts of poses. including that one. I felt extremely awkward with a finger in my mouth. :laugh:
luckily my nailpolish was tasteless - although licorice wouldn't have been too shabby0 -
