Reflections on 100 pounds of loss
Posted 11-11-2008 at 07:45 PM by Janelle
I don't think I ever realized how much weight impacted my general outlook in life. Having lost 100 pounds in a little over 8 months, the physical changes are certainly huge, but the emotional ones are probably just as big. My confidence level is so much higher. I'm so much happier in general.
A couple of weeks ago, I needed to get some new jeans. Mine were falling off of me, literally. I had perused some websites and found a cute pair at Lane Bryant. I went shopping one day and tried on three pairs. They were all TOO BIG! I felt like throwing a party. To finally, officially, be to small for the big girl clothes for the first time in 10 years was truly amazing. I was elated!
This has truly been a life altering experience.

That is awesome!!! This was one of my personal favorite WOW moments -- I celebrated by cutting up my Lane Bryant credit card -- practically the only place I had purchased clothes for the last several years. You are doing so great and sound like you're feeling great. Keep it up!
