NSV Able to wear knee high boots & skinny jeans for the first time!

Good morning everybody! So I'm really excited to be able to wear knee high boots that my calfs will actually fit in & skinny jeans for the first time in my life. I also lost another pound which I'm super excited about. 33 lbs left to go. Woohoo! Now time to hit the gym before our huge snow storm hits. Here is a pic my husband took of me in my boots & skinny jeans. It's kinda dark, sorry. I'll throw a before pic up too just to show the difference. I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday!

Me at 315 lbs

Me at 198 lbs

Boots!! That is exciting.  Keep up the good work.  You look much less than 198 lbs. 

Thank you! It's amazing what those skinny jeans do for you. Lol I wish I was smaller than 198 but sadly no. Everyone keeps asking how much more I plan on losing & I'm like "I'm not that skinny people". Yesterday I said to my daughter that I'm still fat & she said no you're not. I still feel like the fattest person in the room wherever I go.

So much of this journey is a mental game within yourself.  I never understood how the physical changes can happen on the outside and the inside still thinks "I'm Fat"!   I went out to dinner last night in a size 10 dress and kept feeling fat.  I also have family acting like I am to thin already and I want to lose more! 

Then there is the mental game others play with us:  I saw my sister while I was dressed up for dinner and she was saying that I now weigh the same as she does. She is almost 20 yrs older than I (she is in her 60s and I am 40s)  am and 2 inches taller.  In the next breath she was saying how thin I was and I should stop losing.  Go figure,  I told her she is taller and does she feel thin at this weight and she said no she is still heavy BUT I am to thin.  That makes no sense!!  I am shorter and younger and still need to lose.

It is a mental game within yourself for sure! I am for the first time in my life smaller than my two younger brothers, which I am absolutely thrilled about. Lol  I'm the same size as my mother & sister in law & cousin who I think are all skinny, but I don't see myself as thin. It's weird. I keep telling myself one day I'll not feel this way, hopefully!

We just need more time to adjust.  It all happens so fast.  It took years or decades to gain all this wt, now we drop it in 6 months and are in shock!

I think there is a panni removal in my future  lol  All I can see is this hanging skin on my tummy :(

You look amazing! Boots up over my calves is also one of my goals. How fun! Congrats!

Thank you! I actually felt awkward wearing them.  I kept asking if I looked stupid. Lol I felt weird all day at work. I felt like people were looking at me & thinking "why is this fat girl wearing that". I hate feeling that way.
