The unknown reflection

Have you ever had that experience where your in a store and come across a mirror you didn't know was there. At first you don't realize that it's you , then all of a sudden you notice -" yes that's me , when did I get so big!?!" Well that happened to me today , but in a good way !! I turned around and there was this lady standing write behind me. When I went to move out of her way as I said "excuse me" she moved to. That's when I notice that it was my reflection.
I really looked at my self for the first time on this journey! I still fit in the same clothes , so I didn't think the 29lbs was noticable. But even though I'm in the same jeans , they fit better. I no longer have the muffin top , I have about 2 inches all around the waist band. If my hips wasn't so much larger than my waist I wouldn't be able to keep these pants up. My bra size went from a 42G to a 40DDD. And the big roll that stuck out even further than my breast now rest a good 3 inches under them !!! My face is thinner and my neck seems longer.
Yes I gave that lady in the store a second look !! She was one good looking woman. She had a nice hourglass figure and looked very well put together. I can't wait to get to know her a little better !!

That's an amazing experience love, and I am sure it felt fabulous! I can't wait to not recognise myself in the mirror. I really don't know what I am going to look like. I have an idea only because of the website mybodygallery.com in which I entered my height and goal weight and it showed me pictures of women at those levels. I haven't been healthy in so long. I have no clue how it feels. I wasn't even out of puberty yet when I started gaining weight fairly rapidly. So, I really don't know what I look like. And that's kinda scary but awesome at the same time, because when I meet the new me for the first time I know it will be wonderful. I know I will be wonderful..and sexy.
Keep up the amazing work love. You're obviously doing fabulously!0 -
That is SOOOO wonderful! Enjoy your new self!0
