Congratulations isn't it funny to be excited about being "overweight" keep up the good effort

Cheers Jane

That's exactly what I was thinking! It is a bit strange, but still feels pretty darn good. Thanks!

Whenever I went down a level (MO to SO to O to just plain fat) I did something special for myself. Once it was a trip to visit a bandster friend in another state, once it was getting my hair cut, colored, and highlighted at an extra fancy salon, once it was buying cool stuff to go with my computer. You should find something to reward yourself. Personally, I think it should be done at various milestones. It's fun and we deserve to reward ourselves.

I liked the hair thing the most, as you lose weight you look even better and I like doing things to improve my appearance.

My current reward is my tummy tuck... and maybe a boob job too.

That's a GREAT milestone to reach isnt it? Congratulations, you are now one of the "normal" members of the population.

And you'll feel, once you're not even overweight, that you look BETTER than 99% of people. So very many people are overweight these days that it now looks normal to us.

I like the hair idea! I need a cut and would love to get some highlights again. Thanks for the idea!

Thanks!!! and congrats to you on dropping that morbidly!! I think we should both follow Wasa's advice and treat ourselves to something special.

That is so true. When I tell my friend how much I still have to lose they can't believe I want to be "that skinny". My goal is actually just a normal BMI for me.
