Needing to keep my spirits up...kind of a setback, today....

I've lost 100# or so and I am still the fat person according to my brain.  I mean technically I am obese the BMI chart and I really have had issues of looking at myself and saying 'All that work and you're STILL fat."

I'm not sure it's almost like it's something that's been ingrained in our heads from years of being obese.  I think that it will get better over time and it will get better for you as well.  Just keep going along and keep your head up.

I think there's a switch in the brain that malfunctions as we get fat that doesn't let us see our own progress.   I  have no clothes to wear, I'm in that awkward in between plus size/regular size AGAIN, so I don't know where I would buy clothes, and when I look in the mirror I don't see any progress.

That being said, I know I am progressing, because I have no clothes to wear, I'm in that awkward in between plus size/regular size AGAIN, and I need new shoes.   People really hadn't noticed until a couple weeks ago... and you are a month or two behind me.  (When they did notice, they went HOLY CANOLI, BATMAN! You've lost weight!)

And so it goes.

Sitting in the car yesterday going to the boat. Down 130 pounds from pre-op consult, and probably 140-150 from highest weight. Down from a tight 22/24 to a comfy 2/4 in sizes, and repeatedly told that I'm "tiny."

I look down to get something out of my tote, and see my legs, and think "wow, those are huge!" Slapped myself upside the head and said "uggghhhh!!" DH, who has been through this before, said "Stupid head again?" And I just said "yup."

Our heads are just plain weird. You have made great progrss, don't let your head derail you into thinking you haven't.
