Smile back in the 200's and sooooo happpy!

Well just got back from my trip to Arizona and i am happy to report that I am now 298lbs. I am soooo happy to be back in the 200's I jumped for joy off that scale this morning and I was able to not have to ask for a extension on the plane and my fanny fit into my own seat!! I was soooooo happy and really felt good, my friends who havent seen me for a couple of years were elated at how much weight i have lost over the last 3 months...which really made me feel wonderful.......Sad part is my own mother and brother didnt even say a word to me, nothing , nada zip,,,,,,,,but that didnt burst my bubble because my family has always been that way with me..so such as life ay?? I had to meet with my x so he could see our daughter and his jaw dropped when he saw me and was all trying to get close to me,,,,(this guy that let his friends humiliate me a couple of times because of my size) I didnt give him the time of day on his advances but kept saying how happily married i am and how much i missed my honey.......
man that felt good!!!
I still jubilated in wearing smaller clothing, feeling healthy and vibrant and even had a couple of men making eyes at me......wow!! It felt so good to walk around and get out and enjoy life without always worrying how big i was......this is awesome!! I was so excited about everything i didnt eat much,,,,yikes....so i will get back on track tomorrow,,,
but i just had to share with my support family as i am soooooo happy to be back in the 200's again and can only go down from here!!

Congrats Shelz, I am glad you didn't let your family get to you. I know where you are coming from there. I am so proud of you. I hope to be joining you to the 200's here in a couple of days. I will be jumping for the moon watch. So if everyone hears a big boom in the coming days, it was just me jumping off the moon. haha!!! You look great Shelz, and I am glad you fought off the advances and stood your ground against your ex. That is so hard to do sometimes with any one. Good luck and continued success!!!!!!!
