Another pound down, getting close to a new 'Decade' too. lol. Also fixing to run into a serious shortage of pants. lol My sister is getting me a gift card to Ross this year for my present, which I'm in dire need of. I also have a 2ft stack of clothes that are waaay too big. :) I'm going to start boxing them up, and I think next summer I'll have a yard sale and use the proceeds to get me some new outfits.
Over the last week it's kinda hit me that I'm going to entering unknown weight area, one I haven't seen in my entire adult life. It's kinda scary. I can't remember ever weighing in the 260. Even in high school. I can fit into my freshman formal dress from high school now, so a bit nervous it all. When I go to a store, I still look at the 2x-3x shirts thinking they fit, but I know that I'm a 2x, bordering on a 1x now. Even my 1x jogging pants are fitting well now and not 'snuggly'.
I know losing the weight is the best thing for me, but I've had all the weight for years, and my body image is slowly going though an upheaveal. I have no clue what I'll look like without all the weight, and it's a scary thing. I'm excited to find out, but sometimes I look at how much skinnier my arms are and think that they don't even look like mine. Even the shape of my butt is different now when I look in the mirror. Guess I'll just have to adjust and get use to the new me. I have a long journey ahead, mentally and physically.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful morning, and enjoying the begining of December. :)

You are so right on so many levels!! I was always told I was pretty bigger girl, that I was meant to have a larger frame and I wouldn't look god skinny. I have always had a butt and boobs and I love myself! I truely do... but I don't LOVE the way I look. Now don't get me wrong, I wear what I feel make me look great.... BUT when I see pictures I think, OMG what WHAT I DOING WEARING THAT?!
The new body is something I am also scared but yet excited to see and feel and stop buying from the plus size, it is just as much mental as it is physical.
I AM READY.... You are too!! Or else we wouldn't be here =)
Good LUCK!!!!

Thanks Tmama. :)Sounds like we're in the same boat. I do dress rather conservatively. And I think as I get smaller, I'll wear more revealing/sexier things. Which would reflect my personality better. lol. I'm not as straight laced as I dress. lol. Then again most days are now spend in tank tops and exercise pants. :P I use to hate having my picture taken too. Now I want as many pics of myself as I can get! I look so much happier in all the ones I've seen of myself in the last few months, and I like that. But when I'm all alone and have time to really Look at myself, I just don't look like me. It's a strange feeling. lol. Being in a body and that body not matching the image that you've had in your mind for years. Not buying plus sizes would be fantastic! And I can't wait for that to come! I'm already needing to get pants in a smaller size. :/ I realized last night that the 22's I've been wearing are getting loose in places, and that those 22's are are Junior 22's. XD lol. I've had them since I was like a sophmore in high school. lol. Thanks for the encouragement and You are ready!! :D Good luck to you too!!

Jada i totally feel you... i have to post my really true before pictures, but i look at pictures of me like who the heck is that? i honestly did that during some pics someone took of me from behind during 4th of july.. i was like who's that.. holy cow that's me!... u never really get over it if u have been large and in charge like i have been most of my adult life. I think that's why people call me skinny even though i'm no where NEAR skinny.. just that perception people have of how u were. its exciting!.. i literally had the same convo u had when i was deciding what my goal weight would be. i was at 181, the lowest i'd been... and said "165.. i want to be 165 b/c i have no idea what i look like there"... and wheni got there, i looked in the mirror like..wow naiomy here it is!.. congrats on the uncharted territory!
