When you buy a bathing suit, that not only fits,but looks cute on you. Middle aged cute, but cute. It's a two piece with a swim skirt and a tank top. Oh and first suit in over twenty years

I agree with all of the above! I also will not miss sitting in a job interview more worried about my looks than my qualifications. I will not miss wondering if my size kept me from getting all those great jobs. I am well-educated, highly qualified in my field yet I think my weight is a huge barrier to success!

I'm nine days to surgery and here's some things I will NOT miss:
Not being able to wear cute BOOTS! Funny how so many of us said that. My double chin. HATE IT. Not being able to run a full minute without getting winded. Thinking about food all the time and feeling hungry all the time. Shopping in the plus size section. Never finding cute clothes in my size. Crying in the dressing room because I can't fit into any of the ten things I took in there with me. Let's not even talk about swimsuits. My fat arms, thighs, belly, boobs, back. Dreading stepping on the scale. Enduring rude comments about my weight from strangers and my husband's crazy ex-wife. What I'm looking forward to:
Wearing sleeveless tops and skinny jeans. Running a half marathon next year. Riding my bike across the state with my husband. Feeling more into being sexy with my husband. Being able to sleep soundly without feeling a blanket of fat pressing down on my chest and neck. Giving myself pedicures. Telling the aforementioned crazy ex-wife, "You were right, I was a fatass but you know what? I lost the weight but you're stuck in that head the rest of your life!"

Well it finally happened today. I was walking to the car and when I got in my daughter (only 4) said, Mama your stomach looks big in a very matter of fact tone. Just like she was stating the obvious without judgment. And I horrified, mumbled something like. Oh, uh? She is my motivation to get in control of my health and eating. I want to be a good example. She's been blessed with the other sides physique. She is long lean and very muscular and active. Hopefully, I can be smaller by the time she starts elementary school....a sad as that sounds...

No weight loss, dang that super bowl food was good. lol Same. 198

When the size 8 jeans you took in the dressing room are TOO BIG! (happened yesterday!) OMG....I lived for the day when I could ask the sales woman to bring me a size 6. Which freaking fit and of course I bought!

Finally in Onederland! CW 198!

I weigh daily Mon-Fri. On the weekends I usually do not weigh. I also do not weigh the week of my period.... I found it upset me with the gain I always get. You really just have to figure out what works best for you. If I have a day I make bad food decisions I may skip weighing the next day because I am the type to be upset about the gain on the scale.

Stalling...Last week 203 and this week 203. Onederland is sure elusive! Grr!

Todays weight is 199 yay finally out of the 200s
