I'm not quite sure how I really feel about this but it is a kind of victory.

I'm having lunch yesterday at my bother's and my sister in law comes out with
"Don't you think you've lost enough weight?" . I was kind of amazed because that is not
how I see myself at all. I'm 6:1, 251 lbs this morning, and a BMI of abput 33 (not even
down to just Obese on the charts yet.)

I've come an amazingly long way on my journey but I have a hard time seeing what other people
are seeing... I guess that is something I have yet to come to terms with. My goal with my surgeon
was 220 and I am just now starting to believe I'll actually get there but wherever I stop I'm thrilled
with my DS.

Did you kind of look at her like she had 3 heads? That's what I did the first time I heard that comment. Really took me back. Thought maybe they were speaking to someone else.

Congrats on your achievement!

It is not that you have lost to much or enough, when people have known you as big for so long any thing smaller is so differant they can not wrap there brain around it. I was told 10-20 lbs ago that I do not look like I need to lose anymore weight. So why is it someone that is 6 foot under 200 lbs healthy but me over 220 and 6 foot is fine?? LOL!

Thanks everybody. It was a nice milestone. Totally agree with the comment about other people being helathy under 200
but not me for some reason. Just an eye roll for that one.

Pete! You are doing amazing! I am so excited for the chance to finally get into the 200 lbs like you are! I think we are "programmed" to see ourselves larger just because it is all we have ever known, at least in my case! From the beginning u have kept me motivated and believing that if you can do it so can I. But I will say at about 130pounds lost now I still dont see much difference even though I just went down from a 54 to 44 waist. In my head Im just getting started! Anyway congrats!!!! U deserve it!!!- MIke
