I was thinking the exact same thing Summerbreeze.

Seriously Sara, I'd be tickled pink if I looked that good!

However...in saying all of this, I know that it's something that you have to come to beleive yourself, no matter how much we say how great you're looking, what it all comes down to is finding peace within, to be able to see what we do Some people struggle with it their whole lives...many who've never really HAD a real weight problem, in the end it's all in perception.

Be gentle with yourself, take care and keep following the rules.

...and you really do look amazing!

Well Sara all this Old Brit can say is you need to make an appointment with an optometrist as a matter of some urgency, because clearly your eyes are defective.

You've lost almost half of your body weight in seven months, you're well on track to reach a very low goal weight, and from your pictures you look like you've never had a weight problem. As I wonder around this green and pleasant land I see a great many kids in their teens or early twenties who would kill to look any where near as good as you do now.

I attended a seminar with a shrink who talked about body image, and he said we have to be fair on ourselves, we should be realistic in what we can achieve and accept and celebrate that rather than beat ourselves up chasing a body image that we can simply not attain. Looking at your pictures Sara you have already attained a body shape that is beyond the wildest dreams of millions of people. You should be very very proud of yourself.

Take a step back Sara, look at your pre op pictures and celebrate the fantastic achievement you have worked for. You look fantastic. That's important so I'm going to say it again. You look fantastic. Concentrate on the positives lady because from what I can see you have so many in your life right now.

You look wonderful!!! It looks as if you'll have a good chance of your skin shrinking well on its own.
