i feel fat, ugly and disgusting

hi all,

just feeling down today, despite hitting a new low of 216 (which will probably go up).  i mean, 216 is huge on a 5' 1" woman.  my stomach is still big, my thighs are enormous, my boobs are disgusting, i just don't feel like i'll ever look like a "normal" person.  and i look at these people who hit onederland in 9 months and just think i suck at this.

feeling very, very discouraged this morning.  still wearing my famous size 18 pants, though other 18s are cut differently and don't fit me at all (trip to Talbots this weekend).  so, i feel like one fat, ugly slob.  and like crying.

help!!!

Hang in there.  You are none of the negative things you list and you will get to "normal" - what ever that is for each of us.  You have done well so far.  I feel like a slow loser too but when I look at the overall picture, I see that I am getting there.  We didn't get here overnight.

Follow the rules and keep on keeping on.  You're going to win this one!!

Go easy on yourself Ann!!!

I get the feeling fat.  There are days when I think I will NEVER get smaller.  I have yest to buy new clothes for the reasons you listed.  I can not take trying on clothes that dont fit and I had no Celexa (antidepressants ) left.

I have saftey pins in the clothes.  I tried on some of my older clothes this weekend to my dismay.  Not all 18 is 18

We are all shaped differently.  I carry my weight in my hips and thighs.  I will require an act of God to get mt azz in anything below a 16.

My breast are in dire need of silicon (sp).

I say all that to say you are not alone.  Our day will come its just taking its DAMN TIME!!!!

Oh my gosh - I wish you were standing in front of me so I can give you a big hug!  You need to stay focused on what you've done!! You have lost 44 pounds in three months!! (I have too!!) I think we are doing great!!  I am only 5 feet tall, so I know how you feel about that aspect of it.  Let's not stress out - let's see where we are a year from now!!  Please stay positive and don't beat yourself up!!  I bet you are getting compliments!!! - Hugs!!

Today must be a down day, because I just started a thread about how crappy I'm feeling too. If it makes you feel better, I am 9 months out, and further away from onederland than you, my dear! You are doing well, and hopefully for both of us, there will be more good days than bad ones. Sorry you're feeling down.

I felt like that this past week and then one day I looked in the mirror and my mind had transformed back to reality. I'm not all those things I once called myself.

We all have our up and down days.. don't get yourself down about it hon.. we are all in this together sister.. we'll get there.. it may take some of us a bit longer than others but let's just focus on our personal goals and not compare w/others' rates. it'll do us NO good doing that. i HATE it when one thing fits me in one size and another thing doesn't in a bigger size..ugh! it is so damn frustrating for sure!  

just keep at your diet plan, exercise routine if you have one, protein, liquids. you know the drill and you'll be fine and WE WILL GET THERE!!!! 

Now relax w/some  (if you like it).. hugsssssssss

Hey Surgery Twin!!
Big huge hugs to you my friend! You have been doing amazing and I'm not sure why you are so down on yourself!? Is there anything else stressful going on in your life?

I know this journey isn't always easy, but, when in your life have you lost 44 pounds and KEPT them off?? Good things are coming your way, my friend!! Give yourself some short term goals to get excited about instead of an end number that seems so far away! Look how close you are to Onederland!!

You have my phone number, please call me when you're feeling blue so we can commiserate and share this amazing journey!

Love ya Girlie!! (Just the way you are!)

Ann, I would LOVE to weigh 216. :)  You WILL get to where you want to go and by the look of your ticker you are doing GREAT!!!!!

Aww, you are none of those things you mention-our mind is cruel sometimes. Look what you have accomplished this far? That is awesome!! Are you exercising?, go for a nice walk or ramp up your exercise, not only will it make you feel better but may help the scale budge too ;)
Sending a big hug to you!
