It is so weird how our brains work. You look so good and are definitely NOT fat if that helps at all. Keep up the good work! ;)

It does but it so weird I have never felt like this

Well....you are definitely skinnier than me! LOL

But I find that I see everyone's pictures and see that they look great...and I think that everyone looks thinner than me...even when I look at their posted size or weight and I am smaller? Its strange!

Thought I would update everyone on a before and after. Granted the before is about 20lbs lighter than my heaviest before surgery. post-33650-13813813089733_thumb.jpg

Thanks. I am down to a size 11/12 from a 18/20. I was able to buy medium sized shirts the other day. It felt amazing to not get depressed shopping and be able to fit into clothes from Charlotte Russe!!!

I think it's a bit of a body image issue. I have my own issues when I know I don't quite look like the same person to others . Only time I can really tell I look much different is in side by side pics. That's what keeps me going. There are some issues tho in the work that might derail me soon so I'm trying to be grateful for how far I've come as I may go no further. I think u look amazing! Not only that u look amazing for a mom of 7 kids!!!! That just blows my mind! No way no how!!! I understand how it feels but trust me u look beautiful girl!!!

Ok so since pics are coming out..here's some of mine. I did a bit of collage and every time I feel icky I check it out. god has brought me so far! It's incredible how blessed I feel and just overall so much stronger and healthier!!! Love u guys!!!
