I told you that you were pocket sized! :) I had the same thing happen though last week....I haven't really lost any weight though people kept telling meit looked as though I lost a lot of weight over the weekend...weird. I am having a hard time getting the scale to move! I wanna be tiny like you, doll! :)

 

I think you are tiny! I still have 20 lbs to go. I've been at a stall since December. But maybe this is where my body is happy and as long as I am happy too, I'm good.

 

HA! Thank you for calling me tiny Dee!!!!!! :) I feel like I'm small on top because, well...I'm wearing size SMALL tops, but my thighs have GOT TO GO! I think it's time for me to really get in the gym hard core....my goal was to lose another 20....but my body seems to like it here....I'd be happy if I could push myself to at least lose 10 to make it to a NORMAL BMI! I don't think you have 20 more to go....but people say that to me too, and I laugh at them. I think you look beautiful just as you are (and you looked beautiful when you started this journey too FYI)! :)

 

I think people always want what they don't have. I want some hips! I have none! No hips, No butt. My pants, even the size 3/4 ones, constantly slide down. I can't fit into anything smaller so it's not that the pants are to big, it's that there's nothing there to hold them up!
I'd be happy to just get to a normal BMI too. I believe mine is 25.8 right now, so I'm almost there... I know others mean well when they say, you've lost enough! Or when they ask me and I say, I still have 20 more to go, they say, NO! That's too much! You'll disappear!
But, it's not what they want that counts. It's qhat I want. I want to reach goal. Or at least close to it. So I'll keep going til then.

I haven't weighed in over a week since I've been outta the country. I'm hoping for a nice surprise. I hope!

And thank you for that last comment you made! I always felt beautiful, even at my biggest. I never saw me as "fat" thanks to my hubby and wonderful friends. They always supported me and looked past the appearances. One friend told me about two weeks ago, "you may have weighed 300 lbs, but the way you carried yourself, you couldn't notice it. You might as well have been a size 2 model. You didn't see a big girl. We all saw you. Just you: Dee." It felt good to hear her say that. Cause that's how I felt. Just Dee. :)

 

That's AMAZING! I always felt big, and didn't start to feel comfortable with myself until I met my wonderful guy too. He only ever said he wanted me to be healthy and never mentioned my weight...and still doesnt say much either. He said to him I've always been beautiful! That's a far cry from my previous relationships.

I hear you....people are very comfortable these days talking about my weight. Some lady at work the other day asked me how much I've lost...I told her 90 pounds and that my mother told me I'm too thin, and that I still wanted to lose 20 pounds. She actually told me that I could stand to lose some more weight in my hips. I laughed and shrugged it off, but it was pretty offensive. My grandma said not to lose any more weight, my mom went into a whole thing about how I am too thin and she was afraid of this happening...that I'd lose more than what I planned on losing BLA BLA BLA (unsupportive unsupportive). In the end the only one that has to be happy with my weight is me (and my doctor of course...I want to be HEALTHY).

You're right about wanting what we don't have. I want slim legs like you have! I've wanted thin legs my whole life! I'm determined to make it happen, and just might have to put in some real hard work to get there!

You are amazing, just want to let you know...and I'm so happy I can share with you, and all my other surgery sisters...I feel like you just "get me" and how I feel!! :)

 

Well, if you want it, you'll get there! I'm glad for OH too. It's the one place where everyone understands. Sorry about your mom and grandma. Family can sometimes be harsher. My mom would say before, "you need to lose weight" now she says, "stop loosing weight!" I told her to stop. She's never happy and always had something to say. Love her to death, but she's the one that can get under my skin.

Anyways, you've done amazing, and with a little work, I think we can both get to goal. I just weighed myself. Didnt lose anything. I'm still 140. Blah. But I feel good, so hey, that's something!

 

I just read your story and you look wonderful....

 

You look amazing. I hope I can become as successful as you have been.
