| Progress Report
I am so excited. On my 4th month anniversary I lost 74 lbs. I am now at 77 lbs. All the clothes in my closet are all gone except for the ones that are at least 8 yrs old and that is all I had to wear. I think I had 5 outfits for the week to wear. Those were size 14 (reg.). So I went from a size 22w to a size 14 reg.
I have been terrified to go shopping because in my mind and when I look at myself I think I am going to look fat so I walk away and forget about it. I can't go out naked so I asked a girl at work if she would go with me to find a few things to tide me over and for her to give me her honest opinion and boy did she ever. I cannot believe the help she was to me and you know what? I am in a size 12. Oh my GOD!
I remember I told her that I am a size tight 14 and I will not go any higher than that. When we were finished shopping, I got in the car and cried. Why does it take someone to kick me in the butt to realize that my weight and my health are out of control. I hated myself when I was 251 lbs. I thank God and a girl at work who helped me open my eyes and made me realize I was slowly killing myself.

Oh my goodness! Josephine! This is wonderful! Sincere congratulations on your progress! What a dream come true.. and isn't it strange how we just don't "see" the change in our own eyes. Do you have any before and after pics you'd be willing to share with us?

Thank you so much for the replies........I don't have any pictures of me. I am totally camera shy. My mother said she has pictures of me that she secretly took of me but she is in Florida and I in Texas. As far as the food is concerned, I am eating very healthy and actually enjoying it. When I smell fast food at work though it is still difficult for me. I can still call myself an addict.

Joesphine, I can't wait to be in your size 12 pants! Last time I was a size 12 I weighed 150 lbs. You must be taller then my 5'4" body.
Way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Josephine, WAY TO GO! You are flying fast!!!! I know it feel strange to shop in the regular sizes. The first time I did, I felt lost.
