Don't get me wrong...my ego hasn't gotten to the Beyonce "Flawless" stage: I'm flawless...I woke up like this, I woke up like this... Not hardly. I'd also like to add that I've never had a big problem with self esteem, even at my heaviest I felt attractive. I've had my band for about 9 1/2 months now and it has been a great journey to say the least. I enjoy the weight loss with this device and I like the fact that I can go off course, gain a few pounds, give it a day or two and be back to normal. Love it!

Anyway, while I've been losing, there are times when I feel like I am "bad built", out of proportion and simply without feminine form. Now that my weight as stabilized, my body no longer has to go through the big top, small bottom - normal - small top, big bottom - normal - big top, small bottom...you know the thing that seems to happen about every 5-7lbs. I haven't lost or gained in about two weeks and as a result my shape is truly starting to show and I love it. I looked in the mirror this morning and said to myself "damn...I'm sexy!" I've done that many times before (you have to give yourself pep talks or no one else will) but this time it wasn't forced and seemed to just slip out. I guess because I truly feel sexy, in a way that I don't think ever have before.

congrats. cant wait to have nsv's like this!

I love your post and your attitude. You go girl...

Yippee! Sometimes it feels like nothing is happening and then one turn in the mirror and the evidence is all there. We are sculpting even when the scale seems slow to move. Congratulations to you!

I can't wait to hear about your NSV's either!!! You are already gorgeous, honey when you're at a lower weight you're going to need a security escort at all times!

congrats. cant wait to have nsv's like this!

Love it!! Prettythick1...nothing wrong with feeling flawless...

Love it!

I've got a ways to go before I'm anywhere near sexy. My BFF told me at our Aqua Zumba class this week that she could see I'm losing weight because I'm "jigglier than before". Huh? "You're not as solid as you were in the Water a few weeks ago." It cracked me up. Leave it to your best friend to give you the weirdest compliment. My body shape has never been an hourglass, even when I was briefly thin years ago. My mom has always been overweight, but she had a small waist and wide hips. She hated her body, and I hated mine. She always told me I had thin legs, which proportionally, I do. I wanted her shape and she wanted mine. Go figure.

Well, you're just fabulous on top of amaaaaaaazing , are'nt you ???? Good for you for feeling good about yourself , no matter what your shape or size ! Congratulations on all your hard work and great results !!!

Your awesome
