Shrinking

Tomorrow I will be 4 months post surgery.  I wanted to share with you my new progress pictures.  I try to keep myself from being too critical.  I know I have a whole lot more to go, but I want to share with you the progress.
As of this week, I have lost 47% of my excess body weight.  I am almost half way to my goal.  I have lost 57 pounds and a ton of inches.  I am down 2 pants sizes and 3 dress sizes. 
I am having a hard time mentally catching up to where I am physically.  I look in the mirror and I see some small changes, but still can't see anything drastic.  I know it must be a distorted view because of all the amazing feedback that I am getting. 
I want to thank every single one of you that has given me encouragement.  The comments to my blog, the text messages, and the prayers mean more than I can even say.  I love you all so much!
Most of all, I want to again give God the glory in this.  He has taught me so much and every day I am learning more.  He deserves all the praise for both my physical and my spiritual transformation in the last 4 months. 
Well, here are the dreaded pictures.  I hope you guys realize how hard this is to post these things every couple of months.  I still shudder when I have to look at them.  They are my beginning photos followed by my pictures taken this morning.
