I'm down to right at 190 lbs now which is 35 lbs from where I started almost four months ago and I just love it. I love not cringing every time I see a mirror or picture of myself and I really love the new and cuter clothes! But I was walking from work a couple of days ago and realised that I felt a freedom that I haven't felt in a very long time and that is when it dawned on me that the absolute best thing about losing weight is that my whole world isn't about how I look anymore. When I walk into a room my first thoughts aren't "am I the biggest person here?" and when I see people on the street my immediate reaction isn't to think that they are talking about how big I am. I know it is silly because people probably weren't talking about it and laughing about it when I was bigger but in my mind they were. I feel like a whole part of the world that I have been missing has opened up to me once I quit letting constant worry about my body run my life. It has really made for a more confident and much more happy me and also given me a lot more space in my head to deal with other, more productive, things.
I've got many pounds left to lose but already it has made such a difference in my life and I wanted to share with all my STACer buddies who have been so encouraging along the way! I don't know if I explained this well but I have a feeling that others of you have experienced the same thing (or will soon!) and I just wanted to say- Isn't it the best thing??

I love this board and having so many people feel the same way you do .
