my head is stuck!!!!!!!!

Not literally of course...I'd be calling 911 if that were the case. OK, I've lost some weight but I still think I am the biggest person in the room. I still think I am the 330lbs that I started out at. I am down to a size 18 but my head says that there must have been a sizing error. I think my friends are smaller than me but actually we are wearing the same size now... I guess it takes a while for my head to catch up to my body but right now its stuck...

I am in the same boat... I am in a 18 and some 16's but I don't feel like it, I feel like I am still in those 26's most of the time.... you are not alone... I have been sobbing the past couple of days because I feel sooooooo fat still.... I guess it takes a while for our head to catch up and get "unstuck".... if ever.... Good luck.. you are doing a great job, keep up the good work... Shawn M.

First of all hugs...second of all can I re-state how happy I am to be here. You are all going through the same things I am and it actually feels a whole lot less lonely knowing that others are having the same experiences. I also get so down thinking that the scale is never moving, but it is...just now as fast. I am ok with that, but it still doesn't feel like it a lot of the time. Keep up that positive attitude. Maybe it would help to put up a before pic next to the bathroom mirror so you could look at that then reflect on the beautiful "thinner" face looking back at you .... I have a family pic hanging on the wall in our living room, I swear I look like Jabba the Hut in it. I look at the picture all the time and just tell myself, that is exactly why I did this...so I will never ever have to look or Feel like Jabba again. Thank you all for posting your feelings here...it really really helps because I am sure we all can relate to it!

Thanks Barb for the positive thoughts... I am just having a rough couple of weeks I think.... And I need to see my shrink as welll and get my meds tweeked I think.... My appointment is for next week so it is coming up... Thanks again... Shawn M.

I have the opposite problem. I feel thinner than I am. Then I see myself in the mirror during exercise class or see a picture of myself and think "Good Grief, look at all those fat rolls! Who is that?...Oh, that's me." I'm kind of kidding, but I am always surprised at how fat I look in pictures.
