Thin is the new fat?

So at 11 years out from surgery and I'm at my "goal weight" and I'm looking in the mirror and feel that I could lose another 10 lbs. Is this common?

I'm 6'1'' about 190-195 (depending on the day). When I reached this weight about 10 years ago, I was thrilled and was told to stop losing because I looked too skinny and sickly. But a decade later, I'm looking at myself and thinking- why did I stop? I looked back at pictures of myself from that time, and I didn't look too thin- I looked "normal" but not thin. I think being thin for 10 years has warped my perception?


I'm not sure I'm going to take action, I do not feel fat, and know (at least in my mind that I'm a normal weight)- I'm just wondering if this is a "normal" thing for a graduate?

it is for me. I call that " a Mind F#@$"

On one side I know I am still 2-4 lbs below where I need to be. But on there is the "your BMI is only 24, so I CAN lose more weight".

Mentally I felt better 5 lbs heavier...

I think being SMO most of my life, it's really hard to know (even at 11 years post op) what normal is. When I got below 200- that was a dream come true. I've lived the dream. I know I'm not "I can't fit through the door fat" anymore-yes I was at one point, but I'm now an average size. I agree....it's a mind "F&*K"). I see thin guys with beer bellies walking around in skin tight wife beaters...and I feel that I need to wear a moo moo to walk out of the house to hide any potential pugginess- and I know mentally that I'm not fat

I know! I feel so gigantic some days even if I am exactly the same weight I was the day before and felt great about. 1 or 2 lbs and I am freaked out. My grandkids will play games about it and tell me my shirt looks tight and I start freaking out and they all go into a fit of laughter because I think I am getting fat. LOL
