Talking WOW!! Someone pinch me???

Today one of my dreams came true, I no longer have to shop in the PLUS SIZE DEPARTMENT I decided to head on over to the misses department and try on the 16's, and I had at least 10 different items, and they all fit really good. Do you realize how great this feels?

Back in December my life revolved around food. I ate till I was stuffed, and then ate more just because of my love of food. I was so unhappy, and never thought that I would ever be less than a size 22-24.

January 2nd I started Atkins, and decided to give it two weeks to see if I could do it, because all of my previous attempts had failed, and here I am now, a size 16, and so very happy For those of you struggling, please stick with it, I have NEVER been good sticking with anything, and if I can do this, anyone can. Life is just so great

You look great, congratulations. Thanks for the words of encouragement. It must be a great feeling to ditch the plus-sizes.

wahoo Hilary. I am so happy for you.
I get so teary eyed for EVERYONE that posts their happiness and you can see real JOY for the first time in their words.
I am such a soppy softie.

It is like a liberating force that surrounds you, when you just cant belive it that your deepest dream is coming true!

Congratualations sweetie, we all know what a trial any weight loss is for anyone. It is hard work well deserved.

You look soooooooooooo good, and I dont know if I mentioned it but your new avatar is simply beautiful. Your hair is darling and makeup so good and that wonderful heart shaped face! You are just getting better and better.

Way to go Hillary!!!!

I am also looking forward to the day where I can shop for clothes by style and not by size. I'm still in the "if it fits I'm buying it" catagory..... but not for long!!

We all can't wait for the next update picture, with you wearing some hot new outfit!!

Take care and keep losing,
