I really feel like the size of clothes you wear is totally overrated!!! I have lost almost 25 pounds and have less than 10 to go. I can wear a 14 all the way down to an 8. So much of it depends on the brand and store you buy it from. It is such a general statement to say I want to be a size___. What does size really matter? Then is raises the question what is thin, what weight is the ideal weight. Through my wieght loss journey I have discovered many things. First I am the same person I was before I lost the weight, my heart didn't change, nor did my feelings. Sometimes I don't feel any different at all, I still am me!!! You have to be who Goid intended you to be. Your size doesn't define you. I didn't start this to become thin, I wanted to become happy!! So not matter the size, no matter how much you loose all that matters is how you feel. Stay true to yourself and the rest will follow!! Stay strong and good luck with your journey :) It is not about the scale or size of your jeans, it is about feeling good and being healthy!!!!!!!!

    I totally agree with you. Unfortunately it has taken far too many years for me to understand this. But I'm there now and so glad to be. I am no longer defined by the number on the scale either.
  • Well put! It's how you feel inside. So true...it unfortunately can take a bit of time to realize this. Mostly because of what is around us everyday,stores, media and even other people we are around. We are indeed overwhelmed with how people can judge you by a size or a weight #. YOU want to be happy; THAT comes from the inside. Your hard work that you put into your own day to day journey, is just that....your own; and your accomplishments that you both have are the gift you have given to yourself. No way does a size 24 or a size 6 describe who you are.Thanks for posting this!
