Can you believe it is Sept and the weight keeps coming off?

I find it so amazing how the weight is still coming off. When I look in the mirror I still can not believe how different I look. I guess I still expect to see the old me with all that weight still there. As I was walking tonight I did notice my thighs didn't rub together anymore. That is so cool not to make the swishing sound when I walk. Life is so good, and I am so very thankful I could have this surgery. I hope that I will get over the "fat girl" vision of myself, though I don't ever want to go back there again,ever. I also find myself going to the woman's clothing section, when I shop...this is so different for me, I can get in much smaller clothes now. Thanks for letting me share, deb k

Hi Deb, I'm like you I can't believe it has been almost 7 months already. Isn't it a great feeling when the legs don't rub, I use to not wear hosiery because they would cause me to have a rash from the rubbing. I wore them the other day and was amazed, woo hoo felt great. I think most of us have the imagine issue, although we can see ourselves smaller, our mind isn't registering the "New Us". I've heard it takes 2 years for the mind to catch up. I can't wait til that day. Do you find yourself getting lost when shopping, there is so much in the normal sizes to chose from I can't make up my mind, it sometimes overwhelms me. Congrats on the wonderful loss and the New You. Take Care, Dana

Thanks Dana, now I know I'm not alone about the body image thing. I do get lost in normal size clothes shopping, but it is so great esp. when I try on a larger size and I have to go back to get something smaller. LOL! I was always use to getting it big and hope it will fit. Take care and celebrate the New Us! deb k

I LOVE the new me!! Lisa 371/341/218/140

I JUST HAD TO go shopping yesterday because I do not have any blouses in the closet that fit. I bought regular Large blouses. Unbelievable - I keep losing and losing and my head has not caught up. I wear a size 14 pants now - wow. I hope that I get over the "fat girl" vision also. If we stick together I think that things will work out. Sarah
