Who's That Girl?

Recently we were on vacation, and while walking in a quaint shopping district, I notice a woman's reflection out of the corner of my eye......I did a double take when I realized.......that's MY reflection. My poor husband....I stop and ask "do I really look like that?" He puts his arm around my shoulder, smiles, and kisses the top of my head

 

I'm wearing 12's and 14's, loving it and being able to easily find clothes I like that fit, love being able to move easier, in less pain......I even wore a bathing suit and swam in public while on vacation LOL Even with my bat wings and flabby thighs.......it's all good.............BUT.......

 

Somehow I'm still trying to shake that larger image of myself that is tatoo'd on my brain -- like everything else, I'm a work in progress, I guess....

Yeah, I've had the same experiences. I love the new reflection and I'm starting to have an addiction to shopping. This being thinner and healthier is so much fun.

Same here. I'm the same weight as I was when I got married in 1977. Obviously, I'm not the same size...not after 37 years and two children. But I haven't been 125 lbs. since getting pregnant with the first one...who just turned 36. I look at myself in the mirror or in a window when I'm walking outside all the time. Not because I'm enamored of my new figure....but because I don't know who that skinny girl I see in the mirror is. 125 lbs. and wearing a size 6 yet all I see is the morbidly obese woman I was prior to surgery. I'm also a work in progress.
