2 years and counting

May 18, 2012

Hello, I haven't been on this site for a long time but decided that I needed to get back to basics and reconnect with the site that gave me encouragement and support when I first started my weight loss journey.
It's been 2 years since my surgery and I've lost 155 lbs!  I have maintained my weight loss but I have about 20 more stubborn pounds to go.
It's crazy but I'm sure a lot of you will understand what I'm about to say.  I look and feel great but sometimes I still feel like the old me.  Shopping for clothes is a tremendous challenge for me because I get overwhelmed because I don't know what size I am.  My body has changed so much.  I'm so used to bigger, baggier clothes that when I buy clothes that fit, I feel exposed and uncomfortable.
I know it's a mind thing that I need to get over and I will, but all my adulthood, I've been obese and now people use terms like "tiny", "small" and "skinny" and it's like "who me?' lol
Here's a before and after pic
