I seriously never thought I would want to post pics. However, I feel pretty darn good and am totally amazed at the changes. Those swim shorts are so loose that they hang. No pulling, stretching or crimping anywhere. Actually hang like a skirt. The best part is if I tried to wear them in a pool I would literally swim out of them. Time to pack them in the Good Will box! I just love that! Now, the swim top fits like it should've from the beginning but I was in so much "size denial" that I bought the size that I believed I should be. Oh well! LOL!

Its so cool to see the chub in the area of my armpits skrinking both in the front and back. I'm definately reclaiming my waistline too. This is all from a loss of 38 pounds. This is good and there are some new issues that popped up too. Like seeing my food addiction for what it REALLY is. Wow! However, there is help and I'm getting help from my therapist and support group.

Thanks to all of you who help me find my way through these emerging issues and my other surgery-type issues. I promise to be here for you too.

Big Hugs!!

Looking good! I haven't been brave enough to post just yet. I just once for the first time sent the family pictures on Christmas. I was happy with there reactions, however for some reason I don't like being called skinny, because one I am not, and two I don't want to go from one extreme to the other. I am big boned, so my bones are coming out again, and are extremely noticeable (and painful at times).

OMG!!!! you look amazing. I cant wait to beable and post some before and after pics. Keep up the good work your gonna be a Super Hotty for this summer.

Wow- that's so great!! Congrats!

Thanks everyone! I am thrilled!
