female only A skiny woman followed me into the ladies room yesterday.....

[piercedqt78 658]

I was out with a friend and I excused myself to the ladies room. I saw myself in a full length mirrow for the first time in over a year. There was a thin woman staring back at me with her jaw dropped open. I can't believe how much my body has changed. I have gone from MO to normal in 12 months!!!! Huge NSV for me, also huge mental step, I saw what was really there. I was starting to think I would need counseling to see what everyone else was seeing. I saw it yesterday. WooHoo for me. No point really just wanted to share. ~Mandy

P.S. I asked if I could buy that mirror just in case it was the mirror and not really my body. They said no ~M

Hurray! Yes, you would be seeing a "skinny" woman in the mirror.

Congrats on this NSV. Is your ticker up-to-date? have you lost 72 pounds already?

This is INCREDIBLE! I am so happy for you! What a neat post, thanks for sharing!

Mandy, what an awesome story and inspiring NSV!

I laughed about the mirror. I would have been thinking the same thing!

Way to go Mandy! I am going thru the exact same thing right now. I am down 72 lbs too and I am finding it hard to believe that I am becoming thin. I am just trying to get my brain to catch up to my body now...Congrats to you!!

I understand completely. Every time I take my jeans out of the dryer, I almost wonder whose they are. I remember that I wore them just yesterday, but I hold them up and look at them, and think "how did I get my butt in THESE"?
