Century Club- finally

Hi Gang, Finally, I'm there down 100 lbs from 285 to 185. I think I am doing ok. I still don't feel 100 lbs lighter though (nor do I think I look it). THis is an interesting journey and navigating is way harder than I thought it was going to be but all in all I am glad I did it. Sometimes I think I may be a little depressed but I'm not sure because I am supposed to be really happy about the loss but for some reason I'm not all that happy.Maybe I worry too much. Anyway, I hope everyone else is well. I read this forum all the time and there are a lot of great stories here. Terry

Hi Terry! Congrats on making the century club!!!! I know what you mean about not feeling all that different. I mean, in some ways I feel WAY different, but my general sense of my self is unchanged, if that makes any sense. And I'm sorry you're feeling depressed. The emotions can be so complicated. Go easy on yourself - maybe you are expecting too much from yourself and the effect of the surgery. 100 pounds lost is a great accomplishment! I hope you will find ways to enjoy it. Take care, Kathy

Hi Terry CONGRATULATIONS I feel the same way, it doesn't seem like I could have lost over a 100 lbs, yet I don't recognize myself either. I worry I won't be able to get to goal constantly. I get a little depressed lately because I feel like I look sort of hagard..... like I don't look right. I don't even know how to describe it really. I think its normal to go through all this though. keep your chin up! Scarlette

Hi Scarlette, Thanks for the kind words...by the way, I looked at your pics on your profile and you look awesome! not at all haggard! Terry

Congratulations Terry! Welcome to Century Club! I'm with you that sometimes it doesn't seem like we've lost 100. I think we're still behind in the time table thing. Enjoy it - that's a great accomplishment! Stacey
