Pseudo tumor diagnosis
I was diagnosed with pseudo tumour cerebri about five or six years ago. I felt humiliated because You know your fat when the eye doctor tells you to lose weight. It always worsened with my weight gain and improved with any losses. I am now 145 lbs at 5"3'. No more symptoms. It has completely resolved. I had gastric bypass jan 2013.

What did your breast's do?
I didn't have big boobs for my size before. Went from a 40d to a 34b. I could probably roll em up and stuff em in my bra. The b cup is big. So sad. The weight loss have exaggerated my uneven size so I'm looking at a lift with implants to even things out.

Lying to feel better?!?
I don't believe people are actually asking for our take on their fashion choices. They are asking how their body looks in general. And they have worked hard. So yes. I will tell them they look great. Because compared to how we looked before it's definitely true even if you don't approve of their outfit.

I can now fit into one leg of my old pants
My curiosity was killing me. So I went to the same store where my other pairs of pants were from. I can now comfortably fit the size 3. I honestly don't ever remember being so small. Even as a preteen when I tried unsuccessfully to fit my moms size 5's.

I can now fit into one leg of my old pants
I was going through my summer clothes to see what fit and what I need to purchase for this year. I found my largest pair of capris from aug 2013 which I kept as a reminder of how big I was. I can now fit into one leg of them. They are a size 22. Today I am wearing a size 5 from the same store which are a bit too big. Love it!
