Topic: RE: Not to bum you out....
Stacy, I too understand what you mean. I started out at size 24/26 and am now a size 8. When I look in the mirror I still see the old me. I like what the other two responses said~that in time our minds will catch up with our bodies. I do feel ALOT better now though! Congratulations to you on all of your success!

Topic: RE: Enjoying Eating
Hi LouAnn! Congratulations and Happy Upcoming Anniversary to you!!!!
It's weird how everyone has different feelings on this topic. Maybe that's why it shocked me so much when I realized that I really enjoy eating now, LOL. I know what you mean about sometimes eating too fast~I try so hard to focus on what I'm doing, but sometimes I just forget!

Stacy,
I'm a size 10 as well. I too have the same problem. It will take time for us to see, feel, and move correctly for our new body size. I was told by a co-worker that I need to stop moving out of the way since I am not in the way (example: in the hallway). I look at chairs wondering if I am going to fit in them and if they will hold me...
I was told as well that over time, our heads will catch up with our bodies.
Best of luck!

Topic: RE: Enjoying Eating
I don't enjoy eating, either. I eat because I have to eat. I still eat way too fast and frequently get upset tummies, although I rarely vomit anymore(thank God!)
I guess I spent too many years eating fast at work (teacher). I can eat slow if I have no distractions, but eating with other people or TV and I forget!
We have a contest at school for the most weight loss from now until Spring Break in March. I work out two hours every day and lose about 2 lbs. every month. So I guess that is fair. The others are complaining about my "advantage", but I tell them "That was true a year ago, but now the weight loss has slowed and I am no more advantaged than you." (except that when I cheat I pay for it BIG TIME!!!!) LOL!!!!
My 1 yr. anniversary is in 5 days. Happy New Me!!

Topic: Not to bum you out....
But I am kinda blue, or purple. I have started this journey with 257 lbs on me and size 18. Now i am 180 and size 10. I am happy with my results. I sometimes still feel that I am really big and dont feel the weight loss. Like when I squeeze between a space that is small. I have to think wether or not i can fit. I need your help!
