This morning I was looking in the mirror and realized my arms seem a bit smaller, and I felt for a second like I'm starting to look normal. From the side and the back is still a horrifying view, but from the front, I can almost look without hating it, which is a huge step for me. It's starting to feel like this isn't impossible — like I'm not in the very beginning anymore but actually on my way.

I'm also in a state of numerical euphoria — in my head I'm still 300 pounds, but I get really excited when I go to check in on the weigh-in thread and type in 264.

I know I've barely made a dent and that I'm still twice the size of most people, but it feels good to see the scale going down.

It's not impossible. You're doing it! Keep it up.

COngrats!!! If you're getting happier with what you see, that's way more important than what anyone else sees! You're doing such a great job!

Aww its such an awesome feeling isn't it? Good job! Keep going it is very possible!
