That's awesome!

26 years ago I think I was still just under 200 lbs. A couple years later, I crossed that mark and came close once but have never seen the other side of it since. When I see that 199 finally come up on the scale, I think I will cry. You must feel like a whole new person.

26 years ago I think I was still just under 200 lbs. A couple years later, I crossed that mark and came close once but have never seen the other side of it since. When I see that 199 finally come up on the scale, I think I will cry. You must feel like a whole new person.

Sometimes I do. Other times I struggle to remember I'm not 421 pounds anymore. I should be in a size 16 pants, but my legs have so much loose skin that I can't go lower than a 18/20, which makes me always have to pull my pants up because they are too big around my waist.

My husband made me keep 1 of my size 30 outfits and one of my size 10 rings (I'm in a size 7 now) and when I kind of start spiraling and seeing every flaw and not seeing my progress, he makes me (try to) put them on. When they don't fit at all, he says "know why? Because you aren't a size 30 anymore. You don't wear a size 10 ring anymore. You've lost more weight than our daughter even weighs." and it brings me out of it.

Other days, I'm so ecstatically proud and happy with everything and I have zero doubts about where I am and how far I've come. It's really crazy how your head can mess with you and make you unsee 140+ pounds of weight loss.
