With more than 60lbs lost, I can finally start to see real changes everywhere. Before, it was mainly a decrease in shoe sizes and my wrists that I noticed. I am about to go down another pants size which will make it 8" I've lost from my waist from my biggest. Up until this point, I could tell I was losing weight from how loose my clothes have been and moving down quite a few clothing sizes, but i couldn't see it in the mirror. It's like I have blinders that only allowed me to focus on my fat and not the difference between before and now. Then a few days ago, I took a picture of me in front of the computer (which is now my avatar) and wow! I can really start to see a difference. I still can't see much of it in the mirror, but in pictures I can see a huge difference. One of the things I think have contributed to me being able to see real differences is I started lifting weights again. I can now see some of my muscles moving below my skin again. Especially in my shoulders, arms, and chest. It's been a VERY long time since I have seen that. When I go clothes shopping again in a few weeks, I will be wearing the same size clothes I wore as a Sophomore in High School! Right now I am wearing the same sizes I wore as a Senior.
I can't express how much I am looking forward to seeing myself in the mirror next Spring when I should hit my target weight. To swim in the lake without being the fat guy wearing a T-shirt using the excuse "I have to wear a shirt in the sun or I burn too badly."
I was just feeling rather proud of myself today and wanted to share it with ya'll. I have to quit typing now. I think my arms are going to fall off soon from lifting weights a bit ago
I can finally start to see real changes!
