After my divorce, I couldn't hold food in. I hardly ever weigh myself so I can't tell you what I weighed but I went down a LOT of pant sizes.
I am still surprised at my reflection (and it has been wayyy over a year). I still expect that I will gain all the weight back but, realistically, probably not. I eat carbs like they are illegal, eat chocolate, take sugar in my coffee (again) and even indulge in half and half sometimes.
I am thinking about buying a bikini this year.... Maybe that will wake me up to my "new" body.
As far as clothes and getting ready is concerned, I have always taken a long time.
