Tanee. A heartfelt congratulations goes out to you. I'm thrilled for you and your success.
I maybe understand how you feel in RE: to the body image issues. If you are anything like me you are thinking..."Okay, now what?" It's like the postpartum blues without a baby to show for it. If that's the case, it gets better, and BETTER.
Congratulations again.

Congrats Tanee! You look like a million bucks but I understand where you are coming from, I can hear that all day long and it still takes time to register. All I can say is that you are not alone with the body image struggles, my hope for you, others, and myself is that it will get easier. For now you DID IT!!! Congrats again on your fab success!
Huge Congratulations Tanee!!! It's been amazing watching your progress, and I know you will do great with maintenance.
I understand your adjustment issues, too. I felt like I was living in someone elses body at first.
I can't wait to see your pictures though, i know they will be fabulous!
aww thank you Daniela I'm really happy and grateful that I did this for myself....everyone has been telling me I'm silly at home for even having any kind of issue no matter how small it is. I'm kinda glad I'm not alone....I don't feel as bad I think once I get into maintaining and switch my mental mode to that things will get better.
Thank you H8! It's very surreal....mixed with the Saints winning the Super Bowl, it's like a big dream!
Thank you Mikayla!

OH Tanee, I am so incredibly happy for you. You did it!!! Wow. Congratulations. It's pretty spectacular!!
It is a little surreal though as someone earlier said. There are times I'll feel like I've been this way forever and other times I'll feel like, "when did this happen?" and "am I really this small, what happened to the other me?"
It's a strange thing, that no one in my at home world can relate to. Which is why I look forward to spending many maintenance years together. It's wonderful to be able to converse with people who have/are going through the same things.
