Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Funny, I feel the same way! After losing 160 lbs, I was arguing with a friend of mine who is very slim, I was telling her that she is way smaller than me and she kept saying no I was smaller than her and then we started talking sizes and I am completly floored that I am 2 sizes smaller than her. I swear I do not see it. I will see people who have known me for years, and they pass me by and don't recognize me. It is crazy!!! I don't know if I will ever get used to it. My own Dad said he would have passed me and not known it was me!!!

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 You all might remember my having tried on my co-worker's leather coat and it fitting well freaking him out. Well if you really paid attention to that story you'd have read that there was a second co- worker who had just purchased a black leather coat and was sort of joining in on the conversation. Well this past Friday, on a lark, I slid my chair across the 3 foot wide hall and into his cube. I stood up and announced, " Hey let's see how much heft this has. " He started talking about how it was heavy to get used to. I agreed as I put it on and zipped it up. I said, " Hmm it's a bit tight , I'm not sure I could sit down with it as my pooch/stomach might push it out a bit. But, you do know what this means don't you ? " He looks confused, " Uh no. " I say, " You're getting fat buddy! " HAHA Mike in GR > > > Mike, > > > Im with you.....I look at myself in the mirror and I still see > that guy that weighs 400+.....I dont see it in myself at all but I > see it in all of you! > > > > > > Mike T > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 I am very pleased w/ how well it's going thus far! :-) Everyone always asks me how much more I want to lose and I tell them whatever...if I never lost another lb I'd be happy! But I'd be happier w/ 95 more lbs gone. LOL And yes, my dog is a camera ham! He's so photogenic. I'll have to put some pics up on the board of him in my folder. He's too cute!

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 I have to add my Kudos to the other Donna's. The differance is awesome, and what is wonderful is that you have this inner glow that seems to grow from month to month. You have done wonderfully. I hope I do as well. I have pics myself, for just before, at 1 month and at 3 months, but I haven't even looked at them myself, much less sent them in. Maybe I am just going to have to bite the bullet and do so. Thanks , for being such a good role model. Donna in VA LAP RNY 315/253(it finally moved)/171 Re: Re: For your viewing pleasure....

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Yes! Send them in! :-) I take pictures monthly so that I have a record of the changes.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 They are roomy, but everytime I walk into a resturant, I still scope the room and tell myself I have to sit in a booth.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 I sat in a booth the other day for the first time in I could not tell you when and I actually fit. I used to cringe at going into certain restaurants and having to sit in a booth. Lin 422-338-250 Lhsh@... American by birth, Saved by the grace of God. Re: Re: For your viewing pleasure.... Heh!

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 HI , Funny, I have been experiencing the same things and I still have another 75-80 lbs to go yet. Most of which I pray to have off by August. Even half of that would be nice. Anyways, I cant wait to see the look on my fathers face when I see him face to face for the first time. I want pictures of that LOL! This year is going to be even bigger then last. I am so excited. Shauna iamthinnow iamthinnow@...> wrote: Funny, I feel the same way!
