Depressed about my unflattering body.

 Been in a blah mood here lately so I thought I would go to a couple stores & try on some cute clothes to try & cheer me up from this stall I'm in. Well it didn't work. I have such an unflattering body. Rolls here & there & everywhere. Shapewear helps some but I can't breath in those things. Lol

I understand the feeling.  I would really try, though, to focus on all the ways things are better for you since you've lost weight.  You'll continue to lose, and when you're done losing, you could do plastics if you want to remove excess skin.  But I think in the midst of the losing process, we often look disproportional or something.  At least sometimes, things seem to even out after a while.

 Thanks Kelly! I am very happy with the weight I've lost & know I'm so much better off now than I was. I just get in these moods every once in a while. 

Thats totally understandable. I have lost a lot of weight in my face and legs and arms but still have a big belly and it drives me nuts. Even when I was skinny I had a big stomach and it's just genetic. I try not to beat myself up about it and to love my belly for holding my daughter for 9 months and appreciating what I've done to lose weight and get where I am. When I am in a funk I actually have to read positive affirmations or I will stay there and get more and more negative. You can find positive affirmations on a lot of sites online. You've done an amazing job and have much to be proud of! Try to remember too that beauty and confidence comes in all shapes and sizes not just from the covers of photoshopped magazines.

Thank you! My husband is always telling me I am way too critical of myself. It's hard when its you. Maybe my anti-depressants need adjusting. Just been in that slump for about a week or so now. I did go to savers tonight & found a dress that I really liked & I think looks good on me & shows my weight loss rather well I think. That was a little boost that I needed. Normally I don't let those things bother me or I just push those feeling inside but today I just wanted to look cute in the cute clothes & I didn't & it was a bummer.

I'm glad you found a dress at savers that you like! We as women often are so much harder on ourselves. It could be a depression issue (I have that too) or it could just be a temporary funk. Just try to focus on what you have accomplished and the fact you do look and feel better than before, you just may need time for your mind to catch up to that reality. You've done amazing and can feel great about that!

I had a similar experience today shopping with my girls. I tryed on at least 15 bras. I was a 42DD. I think I am somewhere between a 34B- 36D. I need extreme push up or they fall through the bottom. They are just skin hanging there! Let's not even mention my sagging tiny butt! We will appreciate ourselves in due time I suppose.
Signed feeling your pain

I can completely relate, especially with my belly and boobs, but like others have stated the benefits of this weight loss has definitely surpassed the bad. Please just stay encouraged and know that we are beautiful no matter what!

 My body is still funny looking but it can haul me on a 14 mile run.

Control the things you can and the rest will slowly (read that bolded word) fall into place.

I know how you feel, it is hard but those perfect bodies you see in pictures are so seldom not touched up.

Thanks everyone! Most days I'm good with my body. I know I've had this surgery for my health not for the looks. My health has greatly improved & for that I am so happy & grateful. I think I've just been depressed all week & my looks are one of the things I decided to nit pick at this time. Finding a dress last night that actually looked nice did help my mood though I have to say & I just weighed this morning & I'm down another pound Yay! Every day is a new day & I'm going to try my best to make it a better one! Thanks again ladies for your support & words of encouragement!
