POST WEIGHT LOSS THOUGHTS...

you know what i have noticed in the last few months I still have fat head syndrome... its what i call it anyway... Like before I would be terrified of being sat at a booth seat or a old chair or whatever.. i feared being not able to sustain myself for even a evning walk with my husband. I still gt those stupid fears ... lat weekend i went to dinner with my WONDERFUL hubs and we sat in a booth and i thought OMG i cant fit in there... then i sat down i was like OMG i totally fit!!! Do you guys have the same thing? Just a ponder

I feel the same way, I was always so scared to be seated in a booth but now I have so much room and there is even enough room for my son to sit on my lap... It is nice not having to worry about what kinda chair they are going to put you in becasue you know it will fit. My family is hugh St Louis Cardinal fans and we always had to get bleacher seats because there where no arms on them and I could fit in them but not this year it is the reagular seats for us becasue I fit... HIP HIP HOORAY!!!!! What a great surgery!!!! Misty

oh yes, i have the same issues still. i'm 18 months out and down 261 lbs...bmi started at 66 and it's down to 29 now...and i'm still concerned about my size all the time. i just don't seem to see what others see. for instance, today i'm wearing a shirt that seems WAY too short to me...i've spent years wearing long shirts to cover my stomach and butt...and this shorter shirt just seems so wrong to me. but my coworker says "what are you trying to cover? you don't have a butt anymore!" when i put on a shirt over my head, my mind thinks "this isn't going to fit you", yet it does (and did the last time i wore it too!) but everytime, i think it isn't going to be big enough for my body. i guess our heads are still out of synch with our new bodies...just going to take more time for all these things to adjust to each other. a big congratulations to you on your great success! deb

Stephanie, I was like that at first, tentatively trying booths and seats in theatres. Now that I fit and know that I do, I slide into them like a kid, so happy! Lori

Yes, me too. I find booths to be a thrill now. And seats in theaters, and clothes from the misses department. Fears . . . I've been exercising for a year or so now, on a fairly regular basis. So now I worry about hubby keeping up!
