It happened!

I remember someone posting that they wanted to run into their old boyfriend. Although I really never thought about that, I have been very embarrassed over the years to see people I had not seen in many years because of my weight. BUT THEN IT HAPPENED. Friday in Wal-Mart, I rounded the corner and there he was. It was so nice to see him and feel like I looked decent! We talked about 20 min. :thumbup:

Isn't that a GREAT feeling! I weighed about 110 in high school. At my 10 year reunion, 240!!! I was so depressed to go but I am one of the class officers so it was expected that I be there. Three more years for the 20 year reunion and I want that wow factor now! I want to be healthy and happy!

Congrats, it sure is something small, or so it seems, but those little victories are the ones that reinforce your decisions and add motivation!

That must have felt great! I am definitely on the other end right now. When I see someone I haven't seen in a while, I definitely weigh more than the last time they saw me. I'm looking forward to when I would LIKE to run into people :thumbup1: :001_tt1: Glad you got to have that experience.

There are definitely people I've avoided over the years b/c of my weight. I imagine it felt good to feel that confidence. You and I are like the same beginning/current weight loss I noticed, and 40 lbs is huge to me. It isn't bringing me to my 'high school weight', but it is a big huge difference from 220ish.
