Although I haven't lost that much in pounds I am noticing it in my clothes. I went to comedy night at the clubhouse last night and I needed something up to date that fit me.

I went to Kohls - the womens section was right at that entrance and it was the W sizes. I started looking around and realized I'm in the wrong area. I stood there and cried.

I cried for letting myself get so unhealthy, I cried for my husband who looked on helplessly and my kids who loved me unconditionally. I cried because I was overwhelmed with joy that this journey so far has made a difference in my health and self esteem. I cried because for the first time in a long time I felt empowered, and in control of that ugly weight demons.

I beat them, I beat them - I am on the road to rediscovering mysef.

I bought a size 14 pants and a 16 cordoroy blazer with a shell underneath and I felt great and I was a sexy thing!

I as I read through the posts I can't help but feel blessed and inspired to be in such great company! We all should take a bow - for taking control, for learning, for helping each other grow!!!!!
