Image?

Has anyone had the same problem as I have had? You look at a smaller size in clothing and say NO WaY will that fit. And lo and behold it is too BIG...Is it just an image I have on myself???? Michele

Yes, I have. I knew I needed new pants, especially. Ordered 3 sizes smaller and lo and behold they were too big and had to send them back. I think we are so used to wearing big clothes. I keep thinking I'll wake up and this will be a dream. Had my surgery 3/23/04. Was in mourning for my best friend "food" for about a month. But I have so many other things to do now. As of Monday this week, I'm down 46 lbs. My next goal 250 lbs. Yeah. Keep up the good work.

Oh, Michelle, why the frowny face??? Be happy, girl, jump for joy! It's not necessarily a negative image problem, it just takes our heads a little longer to catch up with our bodies with regard to losing the weight. Do the happy dance -- I am for you! Maureen

ISN'T IT GREAT THAT WE HAVE THIS PROBLEM? I HAVE CLOTHES THAT I HAVE SAVED FOR YEARS AND GO TO GET THEM OUT AND THEY ARE TO BIG. NOW THIS IS A PROBLEM I HOPE I KEEP HAVING. HAPPY DDAYS AARE HEREE AGAIN. EDIE F -51

Not yet really. Maybe with a blouse I got frome a clothing exchange, but I really haven't lost enough to make a dent in my clothing yet. I can still wear my pants I was busting out of at the time of surgery - and yes they are loose, but they aren't grossly loose yet. I can't wait until I can get them off without unzipping them!
