You look great, and I'm so glad that you are happy and at peace now. Sometimes, the only way to fix the relationship is to end it. I won't send you sympathy, but congratulations on making that difficult step in addition to the already challenging steps involved in 100+ pounds of weight loss!
I've read several people here say that they still feel like their old self, or are constantly surprised at the mirror. I know that when I look at myself I still see the overweight, but it gets easier to see past that every day. And I feel different every time I walk up and down the stairs without feeling out of breath. It will happen for you, too.
Congratulations! You look fantastic!

I've heard it said that how you do your diet, is how you do your life. I guess there is a lot of truth in that.

I don't know how old you are, so this isn't an insult, but you look 10 years younger at least in your current photo. Great job!

I think you nailed it when you said you are reassessing where you are and where you want to go. That's how I am trying to be - reflective. I am not only trying to lose weight, but I want to quit smoking, exercise to be healthier, take weight off of my dogs, exercise my horse, keep my house cleaner, professional growth, and pay off bills. We sometimes focus on only one thing in our life, but life is much more complicated than that. You are gorgeous inside and out. Thank you for the inspiration.

This describes my journey so far as well. You are definitely gorgeous but you also look happy now. Thanks so much for the inspiration.

Another Pic
I wanted to post a full body shot, I still tend to shy away from the camera and the only one I have is from my office Halloween party. This isnt a very good pic, and the clothes are not very flattering as the jacket is bulky on me but this does give a better idea of the difference in size.
Thanks to everyone and your compliments, everyone here has been such an inspiration to me. I have decided that I do want to lose a little more weight, maybe another 15-20 pounds. However a few weeks ago I did the biggest happy dance I have ever done. I havent dropped anymore weight but I think maybe I am toning up some, For the first time since like forever, I am wearing a single digit sized jeans, SIZE 8........YAY!!!!!

You look great!
I know what your talking about. When I got down to 110 pounds, I still looked in the mirror and saw the 200 pound me looking back at me. It was very disheartening because I still felt like her, even though I know I looked good. It took a few months to get over it.
I also can relate to getting rid of excess baggage! I got rid of my 200 pounds last March and packed on between 30 and 40 pounds after maintaining 110 for a few years. All that hard work and I turned to food arghhh!!!
