Thanks everyone! Things have been going really bad at home with difficult child, but I'm trying to stick with this plan. I am very comfortably 2-3 pant sizes smaller than I was 4 months ago. My new size puts me completely out of the plus size department!! I'm going to my adult children group when I can and it helps with my baggage. I can only do what i can do.
While I'm no where near the weight or size I'd like to be, I am glad I have made improvements. My goal was to be feeling confident in a bathing suit--in a much smaller size than I was in. Well, I bought a bathing suit that makes me feel a bit more comfortable (kind of like a short dress). Believe me, I had hoped to be much thinner by now, but I think my goal was unrealistic. And you know what, I am the size I am at this moment and I can't not live because of it. The point of this healthy living is to live well and sitting at home hating my body is not living well. I am the size that I am and it's okay. That doesn't mean I'm not still working on myself or my size, just trying to accept me.
