Default I love surprising people!

Today hubby and I went to see an ex principal of the school where I work. Hubby works on his computer and I wanted to tag along to see him and his wife.

Well... it is almost impossible to make this man lost for words, but I did it! He stood at the door and didn't know what to say. He hasn't seen me since I started my new lifestyle two years ago, and I look VERY different from then. His wife was shocked as well and they were both full of compliments. It was SUCH a boost to my confidence. Things have kinda slowed down as I get closer to my target, and I need these kinds of things to happen at the moment, to remind me of just how much I have done.

The pics I'm posting are a 'before', and a 'current'. I wore the 'current' outfit today. It always makes me feel good.

Yours were the pictures I was so "wow" over yesterday.. you did amazingly! You'll have to give the rest of us tips sometime.. maybe a little of your self-determination! lol. Awesome job. You do look completely different. Not that you weren't beautiful before, you always were.

I know exactly how you feel. I spent Christmas with my hubby's family and had not seen them since the easter before. His sister almost fell on the floor and said "Why did I not know about this!, you look amazing!" I glowed for the rest of the day. congrats on your loss, what a great inspiration you are.
