I wanted to thank everyone for all the nice words. I have tears in my eyes.
I realize that the last pic, I'm wearing shorts that are way to big, so its really hard to see my waist, but I will try to get the pics sometime this week if I can.
It actually took me 5 months to lose 75lbs. My loss has really slowed down this month, but I figured that I had never been on a plateau so it was probably time.
Like you all know, when you lose the weight that you HATE so much, it is so nice to feel Good about yourself again.
I know that I still have nearly 60 pounds left, but Man! What a difference 75lbs has made for my self esteem.
I was abused by my ex husband and I was called Stupid everyday for 16 years. I finally shed him nearly 4 years ago and now I'm shedding the weight that I kept on because I was so unhappy for so long.
God has been really, really good to me this year!
There are so many people here that have been good to me over the last number of months, everyone is so supportive, and I am just as supportive as you all. I know what its like to walk down this path. Losing this weight has been the easiest thing for me to do. Its even easier when people finally notice.
Don't ANY of you get down or depressed because someone doesn't notice, cause YOU notice and others will eventually notice. It will happen all of a sudden, and I swear that people come out of the woodwork and tell you "WOW, you've Lost ALOT of Weight"... Trust me, its worth waiting for.
Take care all and God Bless
Thanks for all the words of encouragement!!!!
