I am right there with you. I have officially lost 48 pounds as of today and I have 18 more to go. This will drop me from 216 pounds (size 20) to 150 pounds. People have definitely noticed and I appreciate it greatly when they compliment. I also have people tell me that they didn't want to mention it to me because they didn't want me to think that they thought that I was fat before. They didn't want to offend me either way....go figure!! On a talk show one morning, this woman was talking about her weightloss and she said that once a fat person, always a fat person. You will always see yourself as the bigger person no matter how much weight you lose. I agree with her 100%. I still see myself as the much heavier person. Even when I iron my clothes, I think to myself I am never going to fit into these pants and miracuously I do. I don't know when you come to terms with the fact that you are not fat anymore

Tracie.. I love you so much! You always have the perfect thing to say to me! :)
Congrats on your awesome loss!!! :) :) That's something to be proud of!! :)
I have actually tried on my old clothes.. makes me feel good when they just fall right off! I recently went through my clothes and gave a bunch away too. I've actually got a picture of me wearing a pair of jeans that I wore 5 days post partum.. wanna see? :)
I am glad that I can make you feel better. You DO look great!! I know what you mean about the size being sold out and about the size not being big enough. Enjoy the new you!!
P.S. Whenever you want to loan Ember out, I'll gladly take her. She's so adorable!!
On bathroom gnomes....reverend_667February 5 2006, 17:14:37 UTC
Actually what happens is at night when you’re sleeping the bathroom gnomes come out and do all there typical work. You know the things that they talked about on that 60 Minutes special. Things like move your soap, put oblivious dust in your eyes so you can’t see yourself clearly, use all the toilet paper, and last but not least always leave the lid up. You can spray for them and I’ve even heard that traps can work but there not too reliable. The only problem I could see is that you’d be fining little dead men all over your house and Ember might find them and start chewing on them. Though that might be worth the trade off so you can start seeing yourself the way that everybody else does. :-P
