being able to cross my legs ~ less heartburn ~ fewer back aches

Oh this is the way I feel too.
I have lost 57 pounds and am not even half-way to goal ~ however, being able to cross my legs in church (or elsewhere), no heartburn (especially waking up gagging in the middle of the night from reflux) ~ and back aches (from being so heavy),
But, I too think that the most rewarding fact is the self confidence I have gained in myself.
I KNOW that I will reach goal and I KNOW I will stay at goal when I get there.
It may not seem to be coming off as fast as
it did in the beginning, but, it is coming off for life.
Add to that ~
Being able to go into a store and actually buying clothes in the regular section rather than in the PLUS SIZES really gets the motivation going ~
Being able to actually see cheek bones in my face ~
Watching people stare at me and wondering if it is my new haircut or what that makes me look so different (they were always staring at me when I was fat and trying not to look like they were disgusted) ~
AND, I think the very best of all (with the exception of my husband calling me his HERO)
is the "no comments" I am not getting from those co-workers that wish they could be losing like I am and are totally jealous!!
