Question for all?????????

Eating again isn't agreeing with my weight loss... Ok, eating like a PIGGY isn't agreeing with my weight loss. I was terrible all weekend long I ate way way way too much everyday, but here we go again with a new week and trying hard... again! Ok, can't really complain though, my original goal weight was 160lbs, today I was 162. NOT SO BAD!!!!! Even if I stop here or gain another 3lbs I am still at a good weight for my frame and I am super close to goal! Once I get my mind & body in gear and really start working out (we hope this happens sooner than later, but knowing me... doubtful) then everything will fall into place, I hope. I am so enjoying life at this point, but I have one question... When do I stopped thinking of myself as the FAT girl? Ilyssa

Ilyssa, Hun we are almost the same time out from our WLS and I know for me I am still feeling FAT! Sometimes I think I could be thinner but then it goes right back to being FAT. I would be interested in hearing what others will say to this... Congrats on almost being at goal hun, that is awesome I am 15 lbs from my surgeons goal and 40 from mine, I guess I will have to find a place in the middle and be happy there. Take care Debra P

Hi Debra, Thanks so much for your feedback, I am so curious to hear about everyone about this! My surgeon says for my height the proper weight is about 150 - 155, but for me he thought I would stop around 170. Who knows. Honestly even at 170 I was feeling damn good Congrats on all your success, your doing great!!!! Ilyssa

Ilyssa, Yeah my surgeon wants me around 150 but that is still Overweight on the lists and I want myself to be around 125 lbs which I am only 5' 1/2 inch so that is still on the high side of normal so I think that is a good weight but who knows. It might be between those 2 numbers. I am at 165 lbs now..... Debra P

Ilyssa, When you find out let me know-lol. The day after I ran into my coworkers floating around to everyone I knew, hubby said, "you must not feel as fat as you say you do." I told him no, I just had fun watching them trying to figure out who I was. I still feel fat. Congrats on your weight loss! You look great! Kristine
