I’ve got today free so I’m off to Manchester to try on clothes. I don’t care if I buy anything but I need to spend some time in front of three-way mirrors to get to grips with what I look like at the moment.
Wish me luck.

- @skwlgrl At my size, losing lbs requires an intensity that's not real life in that respect - but it's the same food & exercise as forever. #talkingitoff, 4 hours ago

Welcome from Millie
After 30 years of battling the same 30 pounds, I decided that the permanent solution lay in talking and talking and talking until the underlying issues got figured out. Welcome to the work in progress! Gracie, Mardee & Donna also drop by to chat about their own weight loss journeys.Science and Weight Loss Blogs

Millie, I never seem to know what I really look like. I stare at photos of myself sometimes, trying to see myself as others do. The strange thing is that I ‘feel’ much thinner than what I see in the mirror or in photos.
Oh yeah, and I also feel much younger than I really am. It always catches me by surprise when I’m talking to someone and suddenly realize I’m much older than they are.
Donna – I’m the same. That’s why I go shopping sometimes even if I don’t need to. The brutal light and different clothes help me to see things as they are. (I think)
