Mixed emotions. Cleaning out my closet down 43 pounds and my close friend who is 7 months pregnant came over. We were going shopping to get her maternity clothes as she is outgrowing her current ones after returning home I had her try on a few of my too big for the new me clothes. What the hell 10 shirts and 10 pants and two dresses later all of which fit a 7 month pregnant that barely fit me before deciding to get the band!!! I don't know if I should laugh or cry. I'm so happy of my success 1/3 of the way to goal but so sad that I was a size of a pregnant woman... Now if I had been pregnant maybe it wouldn't hit me so hard. 6 months ago I was the size of 1.5 people. How crazy is that??? N I didn't realize how big I was just bought bigger clothes... She was complaining about how big she had gotten she used to work out daily n eat clean but is pregnant n baby is hungry and mommy can't train like she used to. Had I been her size due to fact I had a precious baby growing inside of me maybe I wouldn't be so hurt sad disappointed at myself.

Just a bag of mixed emotions ... That I was the size of a pregnant lady yet so happy I'm no longer that size and continue to shrink... That's my success story for now although I'm still emotional ....

i can understand your mixed feelings..but you did the work and now are reaping the rewards..you should reward yourself with something special. deb

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Good for you!!! Enjoy those tears of success...each pound loss was hard fought for and you deserve the good emotion that comes with it.

Just remember, you're not that person anymore. Go out and celebrate...replace all those clothes with new and smaller items. Don't buy expensive..you'll keep losing and will need to replace everything. Be proud of your accomplishments!

Thank you all I am proud if my accomplishments it just boggles my mind... I was happy to give those clothes away knowing I will never be that size again. We both started to predict what next summer will be like with our new lives me healthier n thinner and her an amazing single mom. Only good things ahead for us and everyone here
