I voted everyone...family, friends. I used to be overweight by over 20 pounds and wear the large sized blouses. 20 pounds is not really too bad, but wearing the bigger sized blouses were more comfortable. When I had my pictures taken, I could see that the larger blouses made me look much bigger. When I finally reduced, it took me awhile to wear the slimmer tops. I am still a bit shy. Although I do notice other ladies where I live who are overweight wear the really tight tops and are not embarrassed. When I was overweight, I was shy and embarrassed to wear those tops. Now I am slowly feeling confident enough to wear the tighter tops.


Now this is still a new step for me and to keep it that way, I will have to be controlling so I will not lose what I am working hard for.

I've lost 22 pounds and have had a few people notice. Mostly, it's my family because they don't see me all the time (every few months). My DH was deployed for 4 months and definitely noticed the difference when he came back. I think I would've killed him if he didn't lol! I lost the weight slowly though, so those who see me everyday don't notice so much.

My inlaws probably notice but are not the type to say anything. Just like I see them getting bigger in weight, but I do not say anything. Yes it is how we see each other.


Size 4!! Good Julie!!

How terrific everyone notices Aileen,
So glad you are feeling more confident in some of those tops.
It is interesting to see what some ladies wear.
I find that kind of cool though you know.
Keep doing all you're doing so you can stay where you are :)

Wow that is interesting to hear Julie,
It is perception & I kind of know what you mean.
However always nice to hear .. *wow have you lost weight*
Excellent job on that ordering of 1/2 portion though.
Now I am glad to hear DH finally *sees* it like you do.
I think most important is that *YOU* notice.
As well as feel so much better about how great you are doing :)
