The girl who hated looking in the mirror *

I use to be afraid to look in the mirror because I never saw the person I thought I was. I was self conscious of my body in front of my husband, and I would never go to places because I thought everyone would point and laugh. But now 60lbs down in 4 months I'm so happy!!! I actually sleep naked every night because I think i look good now!! I'm always checking myself out in the mirror and i tell my husband everyday "man, you have a sexy wife!!!" And he always agrees. I am loving life now and surgery was the best thing I have ever done for myself!!
