Is it just me...

Yeah, except I don't use the word "again."  I have NEVER been this weight as an adult, and I'm 62!  I can see collar bones, rib bones, shoulder blades moving under the skin.  I can FEEL my hip bones, but can't see them because I have a teeny pool of flab at the abdomen.  Can't really call it an apron, just some extra skin. 

Also can't say I'm attractive - I'm still the goofy-looking gal I've always been, lol!  The best I ever got from a BF ages ago was "cute."  I'll take it.

I often wonder if this is just a dream or if I'll wake up one day and have regained it all back. It's a fear I'm working on. I also look at people my size and think "wow, they look so good" and hubby has to point out that the woman is bigger than me. My head still hasn't caught up... and I still have a ways to go. Therapy helps.

It's tough. Hang in there.

Well I kinda miss the cushioning in the butt lol but I will get over it. I very seldom get baths due to lack of time, my toddler went down for a nap today so I want feeling all that great so I thought I would relax in a nice warm bath. My butt hurt so much after trying to relax laying down with my head in the corner ledge trying to nap. I have never lost my butt first on a diet, but it is now gone and find it hard to sit in any hard surfaces, not sure how them skinny people did it all their lives.

I don't see me as being skinny yet at 189, 5"9 still a long way to go. Even though everyone is telling me this I don't see it plus still in the overweight range so I kinda ignore their comments because compared to what I was, yeah ok I am much smaller but not skinny.
