7 Mos

I did my post about confidence earlier this week.... And it sorta just keeps on chugging along. I'm 71lbs down in 7 months. In the last week, I dropped 8lbs. I fully attribute that to happiness and finding myself more than food choices and exercise... though I've been good with both.

Size 14 calvin kleins can now be taken off without unzipping.. which blows my MIND... I think I'm going to head to CostCo and buy a size 10... and jump off the roof into them.

I had spent months 3, 4, 5, being so OCD about all this... and even month 6, to an extent.  None of it felt natural and it felt like I was planning everything....

well life feels natural now.. it feels like I WILL get to goal.. and I will have a healthy, happy life....

I'm going to be seeing an attorney this week for my marriage... and getting my locks changed.... so the stress level will be high.... but like I said, I've never been more AT PEACE... I'm just so content with my body and my decisions right now..

Happiness and stress relief play an important part in this journey too.... and finding people *****spect you for being you...
Love and self esteem and confidence are more important than you know...
So, here are my pics:

You are one amazing woman.  Beautiful and smart.  And soooo deserving of a size 10 pair of jeans.  You are doing it!!!  Blessings.

I'm not exactly sure the size 10s will button at this juncture... but it'll be fun to attempt to squeeze ;)

Thank you for your kind words!

Brandi, you're absolutely adorable! You've done a phenomenal job! Good for you on continuing to make a better life for yourself and not settling for relationships, be it with food or people, that aren't healthy! Keep up the good work!

The way we interact with people and food can sometimes be a scary, vicious cycle... Im glad to be working on mine... :)  But it's all a work in progress.

Good for you. You are so cute! I'd love to know how you felt about this journey at 5 weeks out. I have only lost 3 pounds since the 18th of Jan so I'm a bit discouraged. But looking at your results shows my mind that this does work. I hope I can find the cute me somewhere under here too. You look fab and I am so glad to hear you feel fab too. Very excited for you.

I lost huge the first two weeks.. then nothing for quite a while.. then I've been an intensely slow loser until the last 5-6 weeks.. and I've just been the incredible shrinking woman..
Follow your program.. it will happen. :)
