Now I Know I've Lost Weight !

Somehow having people tell me I lost weight just didn't make me FEEL like I was losing weight, getting into size 14 blue jeans (down from 3x) didn't do it either. I was kind of stunned when my heart doctor didn't recognize me at my last visit but still felt like the "old" me. Tonight was a different story--I took my shower and after I dried off, without even thinking I wrapped the towel around me. This was just an ordinary size bath towel. THEN it hit me--the towel wrapped completely around me--no gaps-there was even an overlap !! HOLY COW--I haven't been able to do that in probably 25 years!!! Tonight I could look at myself and finally say "you're not skinny but you are NO LONGER fat !!!

Whoo hoo! That is absolutely fantastic!!

Size 14 is my very first size goal and I am also looking forward to a regular towel instead of a bath sheet!
