What might I look like?

LeJoy - good meeting you last night!

Of course you will look beautiful as a thin person because you are beautiful now - both inside and out! Being healthy will make you smile even more than you do now!

Awww darn.. I wish I could have been there last night... Next month for sure I have to go.

Sue & LeJoy, do you ever go to Saturday morning coffees? 

I'm not sure where there is one this weekend, but I know every other weekend it is in Eagan.

Anyone care to clue me in on where they are this weekend?

Oh.. and I agree wholeheartedly - you are beautiful now, you will be beautiful then... and I loved your quote about how we're all gonna die eventually anyways - might as well enjoy life healthy... AWESOME!

You simply have to come to the meeting next month!  I'm going to make an effort to get there too!

I'm unable to go to any Saturday event this month because my darling husband has got some things planned and would pass out if I went to an optional event.

Thanks for making the comment about my looks.  It's hard for me because I've been called CUTE most of my life so I've always felt that's about what I can muster.  Pretty and beautiful aren't in my personal inventory of words I would use to describe myself. 

See you soon!

I so enjoyed the meeting last night!  I've never felt so welcome and normal in a group in the past 14 years!  I was really excited to attend and I hope I can contunue along this journey so I can continue meeting and talking with you guys!

Thanks for saying such nice things about me!  I appreciate comments like that more than you know.  Or maybe you do...!

WOW do I understand that feeling!  I literally am thinner than when I was 12years old so I really had no pictures to look back at and get an idea of what I would look like.  I am 34 now and had surgery when I was 32, I do have to say most people think my sister is older than me now(and she has always been thin) people used to think my mom was my sister and I don't get that anymore either! WOO HOO  I just know that I have bones I have never seen before, facial features I didn't know I had(like nice cheek bones!) and no more triple chin~ Just one now!  So so many wonderful things(even if they aren't so wonderful) to find!  So the extra skin sucks but it could be worse for sure!  I will take the skin over the fat any day! 

Just focus on the smiles on all the after photos.  That's the first thing that struck me.  There is something in those smiles that a naturally skinny person will never know.  You are beautiful and always will be!
