Half-way there!

  • I can't believe I've made it to the half-way mark! It feels amazing. I have always been large. There was never a time I was small. I used food as a comfort since I was at least 8. And at 46 pounds down, I realized I had over come that. I dropped two sizes, people are starting to say "wow," when they see me. I think the realization really hit when I saw my reflection. My body has changed. My arms rub my ribs when they are handing down, at night i can feel more bony prominences in my body, and my collar bone is making an appearance. It is so weird! I feel like I'm not in my own body. But I love it!

    My main goal was to be healthier. Now that I have come so far, though, I feel I can make my goal even lower.

    Does anyone else feel a little strange in their new, slimmer body?


  • I guess I haven't lost enough weight to feel strange in my body yet but I can't wait!
  • first off congrats for hitting the halfway mark... im sure its a great feeling... myself having been down to 175 before i felt amazing like it wasnt even me.. people barely recognized me... now that i had to start over (pregnancy and thyroid condition) i cant wait for that feeling again.....
  • Enjoy the success! You have earned the right to give yourself a high-five! Congrats!
  • Thanks!
    Good luck to all of you!
  • Good for you! Half way is a huge milestone!
