Saw my Nut today

and he said I was "above and beyond" where I was expected to be. I've lost 70% of my excess weight from my highest weight. This mark should put me at surgeon's goal. SO WHY DO I FEEL SOOOOOOOOO F**KING FAT!!! My BMI is still in the Obese range, it's 33. I weigh now what I weighed in High School where I was called names and made fun of. Why an I NOT celebrating?

Aww...Robin... You feel so effin' fat because, unfortunately, they did not perform WLS on our brains, as well. Know that you are not alone, Chickie. I feel like a cow, myself. I mean...I am looking at my thighs thinking, "What right do I have to be celebrating...look at these sausages!" But then I think..."Well, gee...at least I am not almost 300 lbs again! As sad as I might be now is NOTHING compared to how I felt just over 7 months ago." Your brain will catch up, Chickie. I bet you look amazing and, as your nut. said, you are a SUCCESS!! Your weight will keep dropping and you will fall into the "overweight" BMI category...then the "normal" one. But still try to celebrate the success that you are in the meantime! Sending good thoughts and hugs your way! Love, Jersey

You're doing fine. Don't worry what you weighed in HS - I bet you've advanced on from HS age. Be happy for what you are now. You deserve to be happy. Karla 337/216/150
