I never imagined I could ever really like my body again. but post sleeve, I have fallen in love with my legs! I have worn a skirt for the first time in 2@+ years, knee boots and skinny jeans - and my legs look fab :-)

Which bit of you do you love now???

I used to HATE my fat arms so much that I would wear a cardi in the heat of summer to cover up my arms at all times. Now its all sleeveless baby!

Oh I hope a bunch of people post here! I'm at the stage where my stomach is deflating slowly but leaving behind unsightly folds and I'm not loving my body right now. Temporary I know, transitional, I get it, but sure would love to read about how it is later on. Your skirt post made me happy and gave me hope!

So feeling this. I am almost halfway to my goal and still am the fat girl in the room. I've been a slow loser and I know I need to be patient and all and remember that 70 lost is actually good but I too am encouraged by the hope that I may actually not hate parts of me anyway one day down this road.

I'm far from goal, but there are huge changes already.

My childhood nickname was Fish, because I loved swimming, and never wanted to get out of the water.........It's been years where I've felt comfortable enough to go swimming....never mind in public.......now I go all the time to the town pool..........I'm still large, the thighs are still a sight to behold LOL But it's all good.....my self esteem has improved so very much.
