guilty about the weight lose ??

     For those going through this weight loss journey  does anyone feel weird about telling others how much they have actually lost since surgery?   No one really should feel bad about saying how much you have lost but to me I am not comfortable telling people that are on the weight lose journey or for that matter anyone that is over weight. I feel guilty for some reason.    Not sure if i am the only one feeling this way and thought  I should bring it up in the forum.  I know suck it up right  I have lost weight and should be happy.  Thats not the way it works, I am truely amazed at how soon the changes have happened for me.     Hope the best for everyone on their journey.

My only hesitations is the fact that I've lost so much weight it's almost embarrasing to admit.  I've been vocal about what I'm doing and my journey though, so away I talk about it.  I find most people are amazed and inspired about it.   One thing I feel guilty about, the school where I teach is doing a biggest losers competition starting next week.  Well, I'm doing it too.  I've offered to have my results handicapped, but everyone figures I've got to stop losing at some point.  But hey, I'm 40 pounds from goal (60 from dream weight) so this will help me get there before taking my band to Florida in April! Be proud, our journey ain't easy.  We just have fun and don't mind the work we put into losing. Congrats on your weight loss --Sax

Sometimes I feel bad when I am talking to other over weight peopIe....I work around alot of people....So if I am talking to someone about struggling with weight and I so I know what you mean.....lol....they look at me like i am crazy....And say but your small....In my mind I still see myself as that chubby little girl...I dont know if that will ever change....

I'm proud of my weight loss and generally feel great about it, but the only thing that gets me down is when I tell people "yeah, I've lost 115lbs in 7 months".  I stop and think... God Amy, you used to weigh 115lbs more than you do now...  What a slob you were/are. It's a mental thing.  I hope that eventually it goes away.  I should be proud to say I've shed 115lbs for good, but I still think of myself as such a loser for ever getting to the point where I had 115lbs (actually it will be more like 165lbs once all is said and done) to get rid of. 

its true... people ar always shocked especially those who know me now at this weight and I am so small... I feel bad for other s but never guilty.. I show them pictures of what I used to look like and tell them how great I feel and If they are interested I can refer them...LOL I am never mean Ia m just truthful and they are like wow..some people who ask how I have done it I tell them through lots of hard work and diet.... I tell them its not easy as it is not and its the truth I pick and chose who I tell about the surgery.. some people are just Not nice and berate me for having had the surgery.. so I am careful now... Love what I have done and love the new me.... would never change it  not ever....
