weigh yourself everyday

Congratulations on your weight loss - I'm sorry that you feel a little down about it. I certainly do not miss 84 pounds that are gone, but I think I know what you mean. Do you think your sadness comes from the fact that people treat you differently now?

Oh yes, I have been ashamed of getting this way in the first place BUT my attitude is adjusting and I am proud that I took the step that would get my life and health back on track! I have very few before before pictures cause I wouldn't get in front of a camera unless absolutely necessary! But after reading on here how hard it can be to realize that you have lost weight, I decided to bite the bullet and start a pictorial journey as well. I get the boost I need from looking at my current before and after, especially on the days when I still feel like a beached whale emotionally! If I could scan the pic from my Credit Card into my computer without messing either one up I would. It was ghastly! I want it to remind myself how far I had let myself go and how far I have come. A reminder to follow the rules of my pouch and to be careful for the rest of my life...cause I sure don't want to get back to that again! When I feel cravings for things I shouldn't have, I either think or look at the pics and the cravings go away....mostly. I have now lost an Obese woman that stands 5'2" And I have a couple of kids left to lose! CarolynK

I am 145 lbs now from 284lbs in March. People do not recognize me, only by my voice. I feel as though I am mourning the other half of me that is gone. I know it will take time to get through this, didn't think the emotional part would be this hard. I am not the same person.

oops 6 weeks not months
