I correlate the two to some degree I think. Since October I have lost 38 pounds. I still want to lose another 25 or so. I feel much better about myself, not necessarily because I look better, but I think it's more about what I have accomplished through determination and hard work. I guess I am like Babs in that way.
But it was a good feeling to take 5 pairs of pants to DI the other week because they looked ridiculously large.
