    After nearly 2 years I can finally see the loss. Why is it that you still look at yourself and see the fat person? So much psychological stuff here...lol

    You look amazing! I think that when we get used to seeing ourselves one way, it is hard to see anything else. I think we all need pictures to see just what we have accomplished. You should be proud of yourself!

    You look amazing and more importantly you see it. It can take a long time to get out of the 'fat girl' mentality. I know I struggled with that, but since I have so many other psychological problems (lol) I got over that one pretty quickly.

    Congrats!!!!!
