I used to really think I was just a large boned person. The hanging skin tells a different story. I really do have a small and petite frame. No more excuses! Just last night, someone said I look fine and don't need to lose any more weight. If only she could see me naked...........

Marie~ You are too funny! First of all, great going with your success! Next, did you ever think you would think of yourself as a "petite" person? I have found that people have different perspectives of what we "used" to look like.

I'm hearing from one of my friends that people at work are saying, "she needs to stop losing weight." When she tells them I've lost 61 lbs so far, there comments are, "I can't believe that she was ever that big." So, it makes me laugh because all I have to do is point to pictures of me in what I call my "swollen" era. My face and body were so swollen looking. Right now, I feel really good in my 14 and 12 petites. I am really looking forward to the size 8's again. I only wore them for about one year when I was a senior in high school, over 20 years ago.

I know you feel great and remember even when you're doing jumping jacks in front of your mirror naked, that you've come a long way baby!

Keep it up!
