This a.m. my husband told me that I don't need to loose much more (if anymore) weight~!

This a.m. I weigh 167 in my b-day suite and after my morning constitutional.  I haven't been at this weight in a VERY long time.

I think I was a tad shocked though when my husband said he thought 170 was a good weight for me and he didn't think I'd look right if I lost much more weight. 

This is probably the first time along this journey that it has been brought up about me loosing too much weight.  I'm still in a bit of shock.  But I will have to be honest, it is in my head a tad more.  I'm wondering if I will drop to a point that I look unhealthy.  Let's face it, I'm a big gal.  I'm 5'10" (or was before middle aged menopausal shrinkage) and my shoulders, feet and wrist are as large (if not larger) than my 5'11" husband's.  I had originally thought 152 would be a good weight, would allow for any regain, etc.  Now I'm wondering if I've hit a point of too much weight loss?

So, this morning, I'm sitting here in a bit of shock.  Someone, for the first time, has said I look like I've lost all I need to loose.  My brain is still trying to catch up with the real image and mental image of myself (which still has me trying to wrap my head around a lot of things).  For example, I still see big belly and big gal--even in pictures.  My husband and kids see skinny.  The scales show what I would normally call "skinny". 

Has anyone been here before?  When does this "adjust"...I mean the mental and real images of our weight?  I'd appreciate feedback on this.  Again, I'm still in a bit of shock about being told that I don't need to loose more weight.

Thanks.....
