This morning I caught sight of myself in the mirror fronted wardrobe next to the bed I had just got out of, wearing just the underwear I had slept in, and stopped to look at myself actually recognising that I’m actually happy with the way I my body looks now… now that’s a victory.

Congrats! That’s now easy to achieve. I envy you, but at the same time I am happy for you! I guess this will take some more time for me…

So glad you are happy with the new you. It is a great victory.
My brain is slowly adapting to the idea that I am not even over weight these days. The shop window reflections are what made me realize I have made REAL changes. I don’t recognize that person and it still amazes me when my brain registers,“hey, that is me”. I always seem to think I am either way heavier or way smaller than what I really am. I hope full integration will happen at sometime in the near future.

Congratulations, Allie!! That’s awesome. 
Hoping to get there one day. My eye still goes immediately to the roll around the middle that I want to get rid of. It’s way smaller than it used to be but I’ve still some more to go.
I really noticed my wife yesterday, though. I saw curves, the right kind, ones that I hadn’t seen in a while. I liked that. She liked that. It was good.
