Yesterday I went to a Superbowl party at my Aunties house. There were tons of family and friends there, most of which I haven't seen since before the band (or right right after I got it). So I told my husband on Saturday I wanted to go buy a new outfit because I have been rocking my size 18's and they are huge now. So I went to the store and even the 16's were too big. I thought oh no this has to be wrong so I tried on a few more pairs, but they were too big too. So I went over to the 14's and could not believe it!!! I'm a 14 now (granted its a 14wide lol woman), but still. I was so happy! So I bought 3 new pairs of jeans and one top. Anyway....I got to the party and everyone kept saying how good I looked and how they couldn't believe how much weight I had lost. Someone even said I saw you pull up and get out of the car and all I could think is there's Kelly, but where is the rest of her. LOL! It felt good (and I can tell my husband wasn't hating it he looked so proud of me he kept saying stuff like she is so motivated and she is doing awesome), but now I am starting to freak out. It's like this is real and I don't want to go back. I have yo-yo'ed my whole life and can't do it again. I wont! I mean thats the whole point of the band, to maintain, right? Ok see I know I am freaking out and have to stop...at least writing this makes my feel better! Ok see now I can go on about my day! :thumbup: Thanks for listening!!!

That is fantastic. I can't wait until I am in a 14 again. Believe me I am ready. Glad you had a great time and look great too! You go girl!

So happy for you! And the freaked out feeling is normal. I am still tripping. My husband, son and sister all said they have to keep their eyes on me when we talk because if they turn away they freak out when they look back at me. HA!

I don't even recognize myself at times. It freaks me out.

My husband shared our Hawaii trip photos with some of his other band members and they asked him who I was! They were serious!

I think it's going to take a while for me to get use to this but it sure is FUN!

Why not go out on a limb? Isn't that where the fruit is?:thumbup:
