Its funny you know, but I realized about a month ago that I was finally thin and "normal". I think that I started to accept that I looked different after I'd lost about 40 lbs. What's really started to make a difference is weight training. Suddenly I can see muscles under my skin. I can feel how hard my shoulder muscles are. My thighs look so neat! Curvy, with nice hamstring definition. Exercise has really helped me to feel "in my skin"...I don't know if this makes sense of I'm rambling but there you have it!

I do remember, at about 170, when I was wondering if I could do it, and if I did, would I ever feel thin? I think these feelings might be part of the process of losing weight both physically and mentally.
