GRRRR

If another freakin person tells me that I am starting to look anorexic I am going to explode! 3 people this weekend tell me this! GRRRRR I am FAR from looking anorexic.. They keep telling me not to lose anymore etc.. PLEASE! I am still 139 pounds! Great weight! But I DO still have about 15-20 pounds of fat that can go from my legs. UGGHH (always carried the most weight in my legs) Sorry, just venting. Kathy 242/139/120

Well..... I don't think you look anorexic.... matter of fact, you look FABULOUS !!!!!!!!!!! Might just be an optical illusion when they look at you and their mind sees the difference between the old you and the new you. Trust yourself. You know your body best. Congrats on your great success. Karen G 294 / 206 / 1 ???? (7 pounds to Onederland)

Thanks Karen. I am pretty sure that all they look at is my back/shoulders/arms.. ya know the upper body. And yes, I am VERY boney in my upper body. There is no fat or excess skin on my back at all, my stomach has very very little on it, and my chest in none existant. lol BUT on the other hand, if you look down on me there is TONS of fat left that is everywhere. lol I have always carried my weight lower.

Hi Kathy... I know exactly what you mean. People here at work are forever telling me that I need to quit losing weight... that I am getting too skinny... And where do I expect to lose another 27 lbs from... I tell them that I didn't have this surgery to remain overweight as my BMI currently still is. It is down from 43 pre-op, and now is 25.4, but until I get it under 25, I am still considered overweight. Then I tell them.... trust me... you don't see me naked... then you'd know where I need to lose 27 more lbs from. That usually shuts them up... and me walking away giggling. I often wonder if it is jealousy that makes people say stupid things. You do whats right for you... your the one who has to live in your body... nobody else....

Love and jealousy and opinions and perceptions all can go hand in hand. You are in control, you are monitored by your doctors. How does Kathy feel??? These people do not live in your body. You are working hard on making yourself healthy and happier. Be realistic and true to you. Vent all you want, we are all here holding hands as we decend the latter to a better life after WLS.
