what a difference 100 lbs can make

It is amazing... Just the mental aspect of it.. Ever since I weighed myself yesterday I have had this euphoric feeling, the fact that I hit the 100lb mark has just totally given me a mental boost.. I am almost wanting to NOT weigh myself Friday and keep my weight loss amount as is.. I do not want to have any disappointments. Hitting that 100 lb mark just makes me feel mentally skinny. If that makes any sense, it has given me a huge boost to the ego as well as feeling like I have accomplished something. Things are changing so much for me and that it is FANTASTIC.. from the little things like wiping my butt, to being able to bend over to tie my shoes and the big things like the fact that I am no longer feeling uncomfortable with other people I don't know, that I am not worried about them all looking at me with disgust to my fatness and when I walk down an isle, people are not hugging the wall thinking I am taking up all the room and most recently I felt great on my horse and did not feel like people were thinking that the horse should be on my back rather then me on his.

My friend Patty from TN took this picture and sent it to me this morning. I thought I would share it with you. Me & my horse TJ

I also noticed from this picture that I actually have shoulders now, instead of just being a big round ball.

Now also for some other exciting news.. This morning while I was getting dressed I saw a pair of jeans in my closet that I bought like 3 years ago. When I brought them home I realized that I must have been smoking some dope as I somehow had managed to grab a size 16.. I never bothered to take them back and they have been hanging there ever since. Well this morning I grabbed them and said to my dog Porter, half heartily "lets see if they fit" Well imagine my surprise when they went on AND I was actually able to button them as well as zip them up!!!!! I was absolutely AMAZED!!! Now mind you they were a tad snug but they were on none the less. So I am guessing that I should now be wearing a size 18 very comfortably but I don't know for sure as other then those wayward jeans the smallest size in my closet is a 20 and those are fitting rather loose now. This weekend is my birthday so maybe I will treat myself to an inexpensive outfit somewhere other then lane Bryant..

Well I guess that is all my exciting news for the day and as my fellow blogger Alan says "I hope everyone is feeling skinny today"
