memories
I can remember going to stores and looking at the clothes and wishing i could fit into them.

I remember going home and crying because i didnt feel good about myself because i hated the way i looked.

So what did I do?

I ate and ate and ate until i fell asleep and woke up and ate some more.

OMG did I eat.. and didnt think anything of it.. It was all normal.. 

Now?  I get pissed cause i dont fit into my size 12 or 10 and need to buy an 8.  I get pissed cause today i fell down the stairs because my size 10 shoe flew off my foot that I had no clue had lost weight a long with me.

Im not complaining cause i would not change any of my WLS decisions.  This was the best thing I could have ever done for myself.

I look at my old pictures and say JESUS how could i not see myself?  Then I look for old pictures and cant really find very many.. thats cause i never took any.. NOW i dont have room for many more.  I need more room on my computer.  I love looking at myself in windows in mirrors any reflections.  I love going to stores and just trying clothes on for the heck of it.. I just dont like when it fits and im spending that money.. lol...

Anyhow ill post more later just needed to put my thoughts down...

Heh yeah I go to stores now and they don't have Large or Extra Large in cool shirts but do have 2XL, 3XL, etc. Karma is a bitch!

I feel exactly the same way! I used to cry my eyes out over being fat and it would just make me eat more. Now I can't believe my reflection in store windows and mirrors. For the first time, I don't want to throw up when I see myself.

And isn't it the greatest to try on clothes and have them actually fit and look good. Tat is so foreign to me, which is why I , too, love to try on clothes, if for no other reason than the fact that they freaking fit and look good, even if I can't afford them.

You look fabulous!!!! Your OH Family is so very proud of you. You are definitely an inspiration.

I know those feelings! LOL Wonderful for you.

I lost over 200 lbs and my problem now is finding clothes small enough. I went from sizes bigger than 24s and 28s down to a size 4. grrrr....

But, I would not traide this frustration for the other.
