I was out with a friend and I excused myself to the ladies room. I saw myself in a full length mirrow for the first time in over a year. There was a thin woman staring back at me with her jaw dropped open. I can't believe how much my body has changed. I have gone from MO to normal in 12 months!!!! Huge NSV for me, also huge mental step, I saw what was really there. I was starting to think I would need counseling to see what everyone else was seeing. I saw it yesterday. WooHoo for me. No point really just wanted to share. ~Mandy

P.S. I asked if I could buy that mirror just in case it was the mirror and not really my body. They said no ~M

Hurray! Yes, you would be seeing a "skinny" woman in the mirror.

Congrats on this NSV. Is your ticker up-to-date? have you lost 72 pounds already?

This is INCREDIBLE! I am so happy for you! What a neat post, thanks for sharing!

Mandy, what an awesome story and inspiring NSV!

I laughed about the mirror. I would have been thinking the same thing!

Way to go Mandy! I am going thru the exact same thing right now. I am down 72 lbs too and I am finding it hard to believe that I am becoming thin. I am just trying to get my brain to catch up to my body now...Congrats to you!!

Hey Mandy and Liz, you guys are doing great. Mandy it's inspiring to know that one day I may find that skinny person. Congrats!!!

Congratulations! Ohhh I pray one day I can look at myself and see that same jaw dropping lady

Mandy:

That "mirror" lady is really you! How inspiring for a newbie like me.

That's a great NSV. You go girl!

That's really awesome! :biggrin1:

Congrats! Keep on smiling, you deserve it!

You GO, girl! No, that SKINNY girl...yes, YOU!

Congratulations! I'm so happy you can finally see you!

Hey Mandy !!! Thats awesome. You have done so well. Thank you for sharing ! (Can I borrow that mirror?)

I understand completely. Every time I take my jeans out of the dryer, I almost wonder whose they are. I remember that I wore them just yesterday, but I hold them up and look at them, and think "how did I get my butt in THESE"?

Hooray for skinny Mandy!! Way to go.
