You look amazing!!  I admire your fashion sense.   I might have to gypsy that haircut of yours...it's darling.   Congratulations.  You've been through many changes in one year, both physically and emotionally.  Life will settle down for you as you become accustomed to this new body of yours.   You'll have some skin rebound, especially because you are young, and all of the attention that makes us so self-conscious now will settle down a bit as people become accustomed to the new you.   After a while, you'll feel like you've been thin all your life.    Enjoy!

Thank you Julie! I kinda have a girl crush on you because you are one of the vets that when I see post, I always read it. Thank you for always paying it forward. The fashion sense, goodness, my 8 year old dresses me. I know, it is sad, but being overweight, I hid behind big clothes. When I go shopping, I take her with me and she gives me the thumbs up or down. LoL I hope my skin does bounce back, I have that melted candle look going on now.
