Thank you for the support! (HUGS!!!) Actually, I recently went to a store I used to work at a few years ago, started talking to the employees I used to work with, and they didn't recognize me until I told them who I was. Awkward --- because I look so different. It didn't occur to me that someone might not recognize me. It's like being in cognito or in a different body -- or invisible in the sense that people I know don't recognize me. It's really pretty weird, but I just say hi and explain who I am.
How will I celebrate? Well, I've already started - contacts, brows done, new outfits, pictures, a makeover really. I might even get my ears pierced when the rest of my life calms down a little bit. I like my new portrait (avatar) too. It looks really good big. It's cool to have a good looking picture.
I'm so glad to have pictures to show you guys. See what 100 pounds can do? I never thought I'd even lose 50, and now I'm over 100 by trying to lose one pound at a time.
