OMG - I feel so different now!

I've been chronicling my OZ journey here for the better part of the last two years. So you all know I've shifted a lot of weight.

But today, after a barre class, we took a group photo. And I just saw it. And I just kinda lost it.

Like, I'm standing right next to these really fit and pretty women. And in the photo... my arms are the same as the women beside me. And my legs, esp the upper part, looks the same as the woman across from me. My face? Smaller than the girl to my right!

I... I'm one of them. I'm not the big girl in the picture now. Am I actually... slender?

I had this big emotional moment. I tried sharing this with my non-GLP friends, but I don't think they can grasp it. They've never had the experience of being the largest one in a group. They've had weight changes, of course, but not like me. I think they think I'm being dramatic or looking for compliments (I'm not). Their reaction was basically: 'Okay, you look normal, I don't get what the big deal is.'

But to me, this is major. All those years of trying, the horrible diets, the workouts that went nowhere... finally, it all paid off. I'm the lightest I've been in like, 12 years. It's just crazy.

I don't care what people say about OZ. I know it's changed my life so completely. I'm so grateful. 🙏🏻

Oh, and I weighed in at 145 pounds today. Another win! Just under 15 pounds till my goal!

I'm just sharing here because I felt like you guys would really understand. Has anyone else had a similar feeling? When did you realize you were different? What was that 'moment' for you? Please tell me!

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
 
This is HUGE!!! 145 pounds seems like a dream to me right now. I'm still hovering around 200, but I started at 225 lbs.

You are killing it!!
 
That moment keeps happening to me when I see my reflection unexpectedly - like in a store window. I think 'who's that', and then realize it's me! Never imagined I could look like this (before GLP-1s). It's truly life-altering. Congrats on your amazing progress!
 
I’m so happy for you! I'm smiling right now, it is kinda silly but I can relate. It’s hard to really *see* it. I had mine yesterday - I saw it when I compared some photos I had. It just clicked. I get you. And we have same goal (around 130lbs) we will get there!
 
I just went back and looked at your latest upload, and wow, what a transformation. Yes, I totally understand how you feel!

So happy to hear you're feeling good and doing Pilates. That's not easy so it has made a difference in your life and your muscle definition.

Keep it up! 🎉🎉
 
I'm thrilled for you! It's a great thing to feel confident, not just about yourself but among other people. I know how bad comparisons can sting. Congrats!
 
People who've been normal size their whole lives don't get it, and that's ok. They've had a totally different life experience. I understand, though. I've been pretty slender for a few months now but my head is still catching up.
 
I hope to be where you are someday. Congrats on the progress!! Did you ever get over your needle phobia? Mine's on and off.. I'm on week 5 and I can't seem to do it. It's been like 3 hours and I'm literally crying. I've tried listening to music, putting on a movie, even a metronome to count... Nothing helps. I don't have a sibling to just yell at me lol cos I'm doing this quietly. Any tips? I'm going crazy :(

It's almost like a "who dis" moment, right? Like the person in the mirror isn't you anymore. I see people posting about their jawlines changing and I'm hoping for that!
