DDFinn 118 Posted July 3, 2012 Tears of joy! Why are my emotions tied so closely to my weight??? I got on the scale today and it said 179! The last time i remember being happy with myself was almost 15 years ago when i was in the 170s. Still have 30lbs to goal but feeling so positive. I think my mom would be so proud of me! 25 justmeandmysleeve, goldenraisin214, SuiteV and 22 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AliveAgain 283 Posted July 3, 2012 I can't tell you how many times I've teared up in dressing rooms @stores, or when I pull out some smaller sizes I packed away eight years ago in my twenties. Now I make sure to bring Kleenex with me so I don't blubber all over the merchandise and look like a clown walking out! 2 CJ_Redux and SuiteV reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Congratulations. I love to hear feedback like this about the sleeve. I can't wait until I am sleeved as well. Hey I'm a guy, but I guarantee I will have some of those tears of joy as well. LOL...Thanks so much for sharing! 2 CJ_Redux and SuiteV reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
