Well, I did it!

We had out family pictures yesterday and it went well!  I only had one brief moment of worrying how the picture would come out when the photographer said to lift my chin - I would always lower it to hide as much of my double chins as possible.  We had some good pictures and some not so good, but none because I thought I looked too fat and wanted to cry.  The weird thing is that I didn't look like me, to me, although everyone else said I did.  I'm just not used to how the new me really looks to others.  The other day, my husband brought a jacket to me that wasn't mine.  I told him the jacket wouldn't fit, as I wasn't a size XL yet.  The women I was sitting with said, "what do you mean you're not an XL yet?"  It was not as loose as I prefer, but the jacket fit!  My perceptions of my size and how I look are still catching up with reality.

Way to go Mary!  Know the feeling about the perception.  Occassionally I look at myself in the mirror and wonder who is that person.  Enjoy the NSV of being handed an XL jacket and having it fit!
