    * when you look good in most photos taken of you
    * when you don't have a double chin
    * when you actually want full body shots
    * when your skinny clothes are WAY too big
    * when you can strut around and just know you look fabulous
    * when I can go into any store I want and know it will fit
    * when people I rarely see tell me I look great
    * when guys pay attention

    I could go on for awhile,,,, weight loss has done a world of good for me!

    When I walk past a mirror and have to back up and do a double take because the person with the skinny face just CANT BE ME!! Then I have to touch my face just to make sure it really is me.

    This is ME all the time.

    Ok, here's mine. My best friend has always been the one with the rock'n curvy cute body. She wore really cute jeans to my birthday party in October that I just loved. I started this "journey" in November. I stayed at her house in February and needed to borrow some jeans. She came out with those pair. I thought "are you crazy, those won't fit me". I tried them on just to appease her. Wouldn't you know, they fit. And they fit GOOD. She gave them to me that night.

    The best part now, I can take those jeans off without unbuttoning them.

    That was an awesome moment. :happy:

    I've had so many of those moments during my journey.
    1. Getting into a smaller size
    2. Being able to borrow my sister's cloths
    3. Being able to finish a workout
    4. Being thinner that when I graduated from high school
    5. But the best one was when my doctor told me I no longer had to have my blood pressure medication.

    When half way through my Zumba class I noticed myself in the mirror and my thighs were rockin' serious muscle definition and I was so amazed at their tone that I stayed distracted by them the whole night.

    I always dance in the back row, I think I may move up to get a better look at myself! :laugh:

    When you can comfortably wear a size medium shirt in a variety of styles ( not just those loose flowey ones ) and dresses in medium too. I almost shouted out loud when they fit in the fitting room a few weeks ago. I haven't been able to wear anything but XL for the past 6 years.

    When you look down and IT seems so much....uh....er... more there from the 35 pounds you have lost!! lol That and having to go by new clothes because nothing else fits anymore.

    And also when you are lifting at the gym and the 35lb dumbell that gets quite heavy on certain lifts and you realize that is how much weight you have lost and that you were carrying that around everywhere just months ago.
