I'm posting this so that I'll stop beating myself up so much for being fat, not really for validation lol. I started in January, and I still have a good way to go. I went dress shopping the other day and I actually fit my *** in Larges!
I think a lot of the battle is in our minds. People keep telling me that I am losing so much weight (my brother in law even hit on me in front of my husband), but I still feel exactly the same.


Anyways, here's what you really came for-
some pics!

    Great job! It took me a while for my brain/perception to catch up to reality.

    When you get rid of too-big clothes and buy new ones, that's a great motivator. :)

    Keep it going!

    I can definitely attest to what @cmriverside said. I struggle with the same thing. Despite having smaller pants and some ab definition, I still feel -- dare I say -- fat. In thinking about those feelings, I think I understand how disorders can develop as a result of weight obsession. I'm sure you won't head down that path, but still, despite all of the "have you lost weight?" questions you're getting, it's gonna take some time to get used to the new body you're shaping. Great job on the loss though! We're all rooting for you. :+1:

    You are doing so well! The biggest struggles we have will be in our own brain and we have to retrain ourselves to be our biggest supports. You got this- we've got your back!

    I agree with the above, that dress in the after pic looks amazing on you. Enjoy the new you and if you go down the road of beating yourself up, look at the tape measure after pic, that'll put everything into prospective for you. Great job! You should be very proud. :)
