That's great when you suddenly go in somewhere and you realize you aren't the person you were before. This May I went clothes shopping and hadn't been in ages - when a long time ago I had a big gut. I looked in the mirror. I know the feeling. It's like - I did it! You deserve kudos because you too have done it and are now a changed person. Today I even had pizza that I bought because my friend wanted it for her birthday, but I passed on the cheesecake so I didn't feel too guilty... Keep going and you will see the weight scale get to places you only dreamed it could be now in the months ahead!!!! :)
