I absolutely felt that way. 1000% so.
I was THRILLED beyond belief with myself at 220 lbs, 199 lbs and down and down and down. Heck, who am I kidding, I was starting to feel wonderful when I had lost about 25-30 lbs. I really thought I was lookin' (and feeling) pretty darn excellent at even 220 lbs. And then when I hit the 199 mark, OMG, I REALLY felt PHENOMENAL. Amazing, because as I was
climbing upwards, I didn't feel so great about it. After being SO heavy and SO big for SO long, I was ecstatic to be smaller. Even though I was still very much overweight.
Funny, because G-d forbid I should ever go up again (but I won't
), even 10 or 20 lbs, I would be in utter misery again. Amazing what we get used to.
