Walking by a mirror or glass door and realizing that is me

My life not revolving around food anymore

Shopping in regular sizes

I have many years to make up for....I can remember going to Disney years ago and going shopping and could not find anything that looked good on me in the 4X or 5X's.

I love going in and trying on clothes....it's good exercise too!

Ha Ha

I love sitting with my legs crossed again after almost 10 years.

I weigh less than anyone in my house now,

My waist is now 33 inches and my skinny butt husband wears a 34. (he's 6'2")

I can wear smaller clothes

I feel sexy now for the first time in years.

I feel more comfortable now when sitting on the couch or driving my car. (just got a new one)

People are really starting to notice that I've dropped 58 lbs and comment now because they see the difference and not just because they know I had surgery.

There are so many good feelings. The biggest is that my self esteem is really coming up because I feel people are noticing me for the right reasons and not just because I am fat. It is funny how when you are bigger that people don't really approach you to talk or look you in the eyes as much. I didn't think people were so judgemental about people who are overweight, but I am finding out that they are.

I love my calves- I look great in a skirt now.

I also think my backside looks pretty good.

My waist and rib-cage are super tiny-- I had no idea! When I wear the big-belt-over-shirt look I sometimes need a size small belt. Holy crow! (Unfortunately I still have the double belly roll + FUPA so that kills some of the excitement)
