Are you Serious? My BMI is 26.7
I am not considered obese anymore.
However I am considered Overweight?
WOW-wwww! I will take it.

The one thing that is not catching up to me is my head. I think I am bigger.
When I look at my weight at 165.5 I am like...where is the "2" ??? or where is the
barely I am in One-derland!

My Solutions: I am looking in the mirror a lot. I LQQK at everything...I mean everything
so I get to smile, see what I need to work on, and Just plain have my head catch up.
I make sure I am wearing smaller clothes so my head also catches up.
If i were to wear a dress, I cannot see the different as much. Or if I were to wear
sweats I would feel the same thing and couldnt tell as much loss. To getting into
smaller jeans and smaller tight fitting clothes is great for the mind.

So, Mirrors are my solution. I do spend time looking at myself. I also tell me
positive things weither they be affirmations or compliemnts.... or just plain hope
and faith..You Are doing this!

I know what you mean about your head not catching up to your body. I was in a small restaurant the other day and with people sitting at the tables there could be small spaces to walk through between the chairs. I had the dreaded feeling of having to try and suck in and squeeze through and people feeling like they have to scoot their chairs in. But no problem! I didn't even touch the chairs!!

I like mirrors now, too!

I can't wait to be overweight, I have another 20 pounds to go though. But it will happen!

You're doing so great!! Congratulations!!

I still think my head is catching up. I often automatically try on bigger clothes at the store because I cant even imagine that I can fit into a medium or even a small.. Pictures is what is working for me. I used to hate pictures so I never made it a habit to take them...I've recently had more pictures taken and its when I see recent pictures that I truly see my progress and it starts to sink in that I am definitely not a plus size or even a large anymore.

Its funny because when I was at my biggest, I would look in the mirror and not think I was "that big" but in pictures I would look HUGE. Now its the opposite, in the mirror I don't think I am "that small" but in pictures I look TINY.

Its a great feeling of accomplishment. Congratulations on your progress. You are doing awesome.

WTG Doc!
The mirror is cool but you still have to rely on your memory of what you think you used to look like as a comparison. Pics are really the way to go for me. Then I can look back and compare and suddenly it really sinks in. I look back at my old pics quite often and I am still amazed at how much things have changed in such a short period of time!
Keep up the good fight! Your Definitely Rockin' It!... Craig
