I haven't posted in a few months. I've been crazy busy at school teaching art to high schoolers and I've finally got to a place were I feel that I'm caught up (no this isn't my wow moment, but its a close 2nd)
I'm almost down 70 lbs and I've been slowly buying a couple of pieces of new clothing (a new pair of jeans, a couple new shirts, etc.). I don't want to spend a ton of money on clothes since I still have about 80lbs I want to lose. Well, the other day I actually wore an outfit where my clothes actually fit me (that means nothing was baggy but the right size). When I got to class, a couple of my students asked me a ton of questions about what I changed about myself. I thought they were crazy and said nothing, but they still told me I looked really good. When I finally realized what they had noticed I felt great. I went and bought a few more clothes from Old Navy (I can finally shop at Old Navy again) and have felt great about myself all week. I've even got a few more compliments from other teachers and personnel.
That was wow moment #1 and my second wow moment is that I now fit into the clothes I was wearing when I first met my husband. It's been almost 9 years since I was at this weight and size and I feel great about it. I can't wait to keep losing to see what I will look like at a smaller weight. I've always been overweight and from here on out will all be new to me
