What is normal? How do you feel normal? I guess you could say that I am feeling a little normal...but, well, not really. I dont feel any different than before...I still feel like I am in my 350lbs body. I know I have changed, because NONE of my clothes fit, I am lighter on my feet, and people constantly tell me that I look great! but that feeling of normal is not there. I have learned that I ABSOLUTELY hate going out to eat, even though that what EVERYBODY wants to do around the holidays. Not that I hate the atmosphere and everyone looking at you because you had two bites and you are full, lol, but I HATE LEFTOVERS. There is about three boxes of leftovers in my fridge from the weekend right now. Sometimes I forget that I have had surgery, and like a normal person I order whatever sounds good. Its usually a salad, so I am being health conscious, but not surgery conscious. weird. With Christmas coming up, I have so many parties and family outings to attend, but nothing fits...I REFUSE TO BUY NEW CLOTHES, but wanting to be a normal person, I go and buy a new cocktail dress that I probably will only wear once...maybe if i leave the tag on I can return it...just kidding. lol. I just realized that I have lost almost 100lbs since January, amazing right? :wub: I am very proud of myself...so, who cares if I dont feel normal...normal isnt attainable, its just one of those things that makes you like everybody else, and who wants to be like everybody else??

I am a little worried about clothes to wear while loosing weight. Someone suggested that I shop at the good will store. They said they have some nice clothes and then you won't feel so guilty about buying something and wearing it once. I plan on donating all of my clothes to goodwill that are too big as I go along.

Yes. I do shop a lot at thrift stores and I have found a lot of nice items in good shape. One time my sister and I went on 79 cents day. It was fun!
