So glad you felt comfortable enough to share here! You are a beautiful person and after you rock your DS you will be able to buy any clothes you like, not just bc they fit. I used to buy clothes just bc I knew they would fit, now I have problems shopping only bc small sizes are hard to find. (((Hugs))) ETA:EXALT |

Brava, Stella! You're lovely!
I'm a heavyweight, too, and am not yet ready to post photos, so you get major props (and an *exalt*) from me!
At a little more than four months out, the most obvious improvement in my day-to-day is the ability to move more easily and without pain.
Best of luck in your journey - there is so much good ahead for you!

Hey, nice to "see" all of you! I think you're being harsh on yourself. We all know what it feels like to be unhappy in our bodies, and I like seeing "you" for "you", not just size-wise, if you KWIM. Don't beat yourself up, I think you're cute now, and wait until you get your surgery  |

See I was never really unhappy till I couldn't get weighed any more at the docs office. That is when I started to get more unhappy about how I looked. Even when I weighed 320 I would wear short skirts, low cut tops and high heels. But once I couldn't see that number on the scale I hide behind more and more clothing. But it would be nice to not be as wide as the door kwim Maybe I should have taken the pic by the front door that one is wider lol |

Stella, first of all, you are lovely AND brave. I exalt you!!
Also, the coolest thing I did (not on purpose) was taking all my monthly shots in front of my bathroom door. You can compare the amount of door that's visible in each pic and it's more each time. Everyone that looks at them notices. (check them out in the before & after forum). Keep taking your pictures in front of that door. The result will amaze you!

I plan on taking a monthly pic by that door after surgery, plus my best friend got me a journal for christmas so I can keep track of measurements and weights. So I can keep track of just how far I go.

You look good, Stella.
As to the suggestion about using the same prop...only works if you do NOT move...we started in one house and moved to a different one in Sept.
