Since losing 93lbs Ive learned to love myself. Ive been able to shop in the jrs dept. I can run && play with my sons. My husband can pick me up!!! I have gone from a 44dd to a 38d. I have gone from a size 24 to a 14. I have a very lovely neck line&& collar bone I never knew existed.

Best of all was when my son came up && put his arms around my waist && said MOMMY I can reach all the way around you now! Best of the best

I have the confidence to go to a movie theater or restaurant without worrying that I won't fit in the seat.

Since I've lost weight...
- I've gone from a size 24 to an 18
- I now fit in patio chairs comfortably
- I learned that running can be fun and addictive
- I've gotten my libido back (sorry if TMI, but really, how do you go 2 years not wanting sex?)
- I've saved money by eating in
- I've learned to like veggies
- I've gained some confidence, but have more to go

So far on my weight loss journey, I have:
- sat in a booth without my boobs resting on the table;
- ran up two flights of stairs without huffing and puffing and there was no reason other than I felt like it;
- lowered my blood pressure, body fat percentage, cholesterol, fasting blood sugar levels, and triglycerides;
- purchased clothes in the non- plus sized section of the store and they fit;
- participated in sporting activities with loved ones;
- had someone not recognize me;
- had men look at me in a way I hadn't seen in years;
- greatly reduced the number of incidents of thigh burn (rubbing together painfully);
- purchased a bathing suit;
- had more energy;
- reduced my snoring;
- completely eliminated that achy foot thing that happened when standing on your feet for a bit;
- not been the biggest one at many gatherings, and, and, and.....

Since I've lost weight I've...

Become MUCH more self-confident, stopped being a pushover, and started going after what I wanted.

Realized that I could get up in the morning, get dressed, and without much fuss look fine.

Gotten IN SHAPE and realized that I can be healthier at 49 than I was at 39 by a lot.

Said goodbye to the plus size stores.

Reacquainted myself with the joy of being 5'8" in 4" heels.

Realized that I no longer have to dedicate extra time to household chores because I get so tired that they take me so long.

I've become interested in dressing myself, putting together flattering outfits rather than just buying whatever fits that I don't hate.
