How depressing is this?....

AMEN!! It IS good to have people who understand! HUGS! Kimberly

Kimberly, I can so relate to this! Just yesterday I had on a black suit with a big jacket, and a blue sweater, and all of it was hanging on me. I felt so darn frumpy. People comment on how big my clothes are but I look in the mirror and still see big fat me. Somehow I think we expect to look skinny overnight LOL and it just isn't going to happen. Let's look at it this way, we didn't get to our current sizes overnight and it's not going to leave overnight either. One thing that did help me is a picture history. I have it posted on my profile if you want to check it out. I'm taking pictures on the monthly anniversary of my surgery...and looking at myself pre op I feel so much better now. It really is about dealing with your head!!! Hang in there I'm right with ya!! Sharon

Oh, I can so relate to you! I started out in size 24 pants, and my daughter loaned me some of her size 18 jeans (she's pregnant) and I keep on waiting to get into them. I know I will still "look fat", but not "as fat" as I was. You know what's shocking to me---- when I'm walking up to the grocery store and I catch a glimpse of myself in the window- I no longer feel like I'm going to sumo wrestling class by what I see..... there's a DEFINATE difference after only 8 weeks! That's amazing!!! Proof that it's all in how we look at it!

Michele, I loved your window comment. There were so many times I'd get dressed, felt liked I looked good, and then walking into the store would catch a glimpse of myself and just be crushed! I am not feeling that way anymore. It's such a good feeling! HUGS Kimberly
