Can you believe it?

I still can't belive I have lost weight. I am down 107lbs but I can't notice it. Everybosy tells me how great I look and I know I have dropped many sizes but when I look in the mirror I look the same. I wonder at what point will I look thinner to myself. Does anybody else have this problem. Maybe I like driving myself crazy. Thanks Stacey

I do, I do. What helps me are pictures. Have someone take a picture of you and put it against a picture of you prior to surgery. My mind and my eyes have not caught up. I have lost 103 lbs and even though there is no way I can get in my old clothes, when I look at me I still see the same body shape. I also try catching my reflection as I walk by buildings with windows trying to see what others see.

Yeah and try loosing 102 pounds and not really fitting into any smaller size clothing!!! thats the WORST!!! I mean granted my clothes are ALOT bigger but not grown out of and last time I was at the store I could barely fit into the next lower size!!!! I can really tell feeling and seeing myself but why the heck am I not fitting into smaller sizes??? I HAVE lost inches... I go to the gym every darn day! Oh its soooo frustrating! I cant wait to get under 200 pounds maybe THEN I will be able to really tell a difference! I mean I can in alot of ways but when I look into the mirror and see these stupid clothes still on my body its so frustrating! Best wishes to you! Elizabeth M

I used to be right there with you. Not in smaller sizes etc. But then almost overnight everything started hanging on me. My underwear even! It is ridiculous. One thing I did though is I started buying smaller t-shirts. I was so used to buying giant shirts to cover my belly, that I didnt realise until I bought some smaller shirts that I am smaller now. I went from size 26/28 to size xl Old Navy. It is so cool to put on jeans from there. Size 20 still but they are getting looser. Just go out and try on some smaller clothes. You may surprise yourself. Plus you will look so much thinner if you wear clothes that actually fit. Oh and I have lost 106 lbs so we are right around the same weight loss wise. I have days that I still feel really huge but I am starting to see the loss more and more. It is great. Nicole
