hard to take in

Oh my gosh is it just me or what, but I still haven't realized how much weight I have lost.  The other day one of my daycare moms looked at me and said that she needed to lose 10 lbs and i said what for she is skinny as a rail and she showed me her pants and she is a size 8 HOLY TOLEDO that is my size whats up with that????????  I do not feel like I am skinny or if I even should consider myself skinny to hear that or say it is just complete weirdness..... does any of this make sense?????  I look in the mirror or walk by a window and see myself and it's like HOLY CRAP is that really me.  My hubby keeps telling me how thin I am getting and i just can't understand that yet....... I have one of those skin tight thingy's that hold your blubber and what not and when I wear that I feel like a star that no one could ever get to me again, that I rule, that I am a queen,  how funny is that.  I have never felt like that ever......weird huh........ I have no clue where I am going with this........Just wanted to know if anyone else feels like that????????????

Marsha!  You ARE a rock star!!  I know it took me a long time (2+ years out) before I started to grasp that I'm "normal".  I'm not by any means a skinny minnie, but I sure am better than I was!!  It may take more time for your head to catch up, but in the meantime, ENJOY THE CONSTANT WOWS!!  You go girl!!

You are doing great yourself look at you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I absolutely feel like that all the time! I can't believe that I am in a size 12 and nearing Onederland... it's just unbelievable. Just like you, I end up looking at myself and not seeing it... but at least I feel it - it feels great!!

A size 12 HOLY CRAP GIRL...........  You have come so far in such a short time........ you are one very pretty woman......Keep up the great work......

Marsha,

I'm also a size 6/8.......I still see a fat person.....The only time I see what everyone else does is when I see myself in a picture.......I just can't grasp it's me......

I'm really self destructing lately......I focus on the extra skin, etc. And I feel fat.....I feel better health wise, but I still feel fat........I wish they had a magic pill for us to take......Maybe someday I will be comfortable in my new body......

Skin is getting to me too a little....... it's funny to hear me run up the stairs........good grief

          You did NOT just say that...

You are beautiful and you look amazing.  Size 8?  I am jealous.  I am stuck at 11.  But its about you....keep up the work, you look awesome and deserve all the WOW moments you are getting!  You go Girl.

It has been real hard for me also to see myself as loosing the weight I have lost.  When I walk past a window at work I always do a double take.  Can't believe that it is really me.  You look wonderful.  It is just hard for the brain to catch up with us.  I need to find some of those tank thingys to hold in the blubber.
