Hooray!! I reached and surpassed my goal!! I weighed myself today and I am now at 167 pounds! I now feel better than I have ever felt in my life! I never thought that I could get down to 170 pounds, let alone UNDER 170 pounds!
I feel like a completely brand new person!
Before I lost the weight, I was a size 26 and now I'm in a size 8, 10 or 12...depending on the store. Before I lost the weight, I was wearing a 48-C size bra and now I wear a 36 B! My underwear size used to be a 10 and now I'm in a 6! Before I lost the weight, my BMI was a whopping 42.3 (extremely high risk) and now it's at 24.7 (NORMAL)!!!! Before I lost weight, my shoe size was a 10 and now I'm in a 9.5.
I'm not invisible anymore. I never planned on finding such an attractive woman underneath all of those layers of fat. My fiance's best friend told me the other day that I was beautiful and desireable. Me, desireable? That's one thing that I've NEVER been called!! I get doors held open for me, smiles, people come up and talk to me. I'm not afraid to be myself, to open up, to make a spectacle of myself, to DANCE in public, to flirt!! I'm not just the fat girlfriend anymore who none of Jon's friends really notice all that much. Now, I'm the life of the party and I love every minute of it! When people look at me, I no longer wonder if they're gawking because of my weight. I know I look hot!
I can shop in any store that I choose and I'm not limited in the LEAST to what I can fit into. I can go shopping with my thin girlfriends! I can borrow clothes from my friends and they can borrow clothes from me. I can shop in Victoria's Secret!! I can wear high heals, platforms, and boots with a heel and not have to worry about spraining my ankle because my ankle buckles under the pressure. I can buy bras where ever I want! I can wear sexy underwear! I don't have to worry about wearing my hair a certain style to make sure that my face doesn't look overly fat. I can cut it really short now, if I wanted to!!
I no longer crave junk food, fast food, sweets, or anything bad like that. I ENJOY eating salad!!! I don't sit down to a giant bowl of ice-cream every night now. I eat until I'm full, but not uncomfortably bloated like I used to.
I'm in shape!! I can run, jog, walk for hours, do anything! I can see my muscles and feel my bones! I have bony shoulders!! LOL
Thank you all for all of your wonderful support!! I love you guys!!
