Sounds like you are doing a great deal of work for your inner beautly as well as outer appearance. I must tell you that I was tooling around the forum today showing it to my mom and your pic caught her eye. She just thought you were the prettiest thing and I am sure she is right. You are good enough. Don't put pressure on yourself unless it actually motivates you. Remember you are in a marathon and not a sprint. Your husband may see people looking at you that you don't notice. He is going to need to adjust to that because it will happen more and more. You are a striking woman and from what I remember, quite tall. You probably have a stong presence that goes noticed. Hopefully he has grown up a bit since the days of dating and will channel that jealous energy into good....maybe in the bedroom!!!

I hope your husband grows to the point that he feels a sense of pride that you are his woman, and that you're being such a gorgeous woman at that would choose to be with him of all the people in this world. He should be proud..;.not jealous. Men...they are SO slow to grow up sometimes!

My husband was very afraid that I would leave him once I took my weight off. He was watching me all the time. Making sure I wasn't going astray. I just kept reasuring him that "He get's to enjoy my new body, He was the one who stayed with me on the way up the scale and He will get to reap the rewards of the new me on the way down. It take lots of reasuring. But if he is willing to go to counseling I would go.

I am so proud of you...... You are doing such an awesome job. I know how you feel about feeling surreal. I feel the same way. People say they don't recognize me, they ooooogggle over how I look now. It just dosen't seem real. Even though I am wearing size 10 and 12 my brain just can't comprehend the difference. I still dont' feel like it is good enough. I still have 17 more maybe 20 to be were I want to be. I don't know if it will be good enough then. I just really need to ask God to show me what he see's in me. Who He says I am. Then I will know the truth.

Love ya my fellow sister

Robin, the little butterfly that is evolving. It takes time. 10 weeks seem so short in hindsight. You're still just a babe in development. It seems to take forever to get to that end point. I recall just wanting the process to be over....instant transformation. Go from point A to B in a nanosecond. Cherish the moments and little things each day. When you get to the point that you don't recognize yourself, then you start wondering, where do I go from here? When things settle down and you get use to the new you, it becomes a different game. Kudos to you to reconize that things are different and taking measures to intervene before your life takes a new turn. Just like alcoholism is a family disease, so is the recovery for a food addict.

[color="SeaGreen"]Man you are such a postive woman. I wish I had half of the positive attitude that you have. You are doing great, and your happiness shines through. I wish we lived closer to one another, so that I could see you more. I really can't wait to see you again. I'm sure you're a skinny girl now! I totally understand about the clothes. Even though I'm in a size 8 now

I still have some size 20's. I just can't get it through my head that I'm not going to need them. Trust me my whole house looks like a closet.

It's BAD!!! I guess it's time for me to suck it up, and get rid of the stuff. Enough about my issues this is about you!

And girlfriend YOU ROCK!!!! [/COLOR]

"The other night at Support group I took Cindy into my closet and gave away a TON of my bigger clothes. It was.... hard. There's still that part of me that thinks I need to hold onto things because I'm going to gain the weight back and need my fat clothes. I even kept things I should have gotten rid of because in the back of my mind I'm sure I will always be fat."

WTF! YOU HELD OUT ON ME!!!!!! You are doing great!!!

Jeannie you have a smile that lights up my world! I can't wait to see you again too!

LOL Cin! Yes I did! I also forgot to give you the bag that I marked, "For Cindy" LOL! It has a workout outfit and a pair of jammies! Don't let me forget next time!

Wow Robin. You sound soooooooo good. Wanna see you! (other than by webcam) Sounds like Cin made out getting all your beautiful clothes. I still have your two dresses btw - never been touched.
