I have a full length in the hall. There is no getting around it unless I want to crawl through a window. I stand there in my undies and wonder where the heck did my thighs and legs go. I really couldn't see a lost until I got in the 2 twentys. Er thats the 200 and 20's. I think I have a fear of getting smaller. Not being able to just buy clothes and buy clothes I am wearing mine way pass time. I gave a lot away before I snapped I could half way take some up. But you can only do that a couple of sizes. So when I do put on something that half way fits I just stand there and look at my self. Today I put on last years biker shorts. They hug so I figured that they would work for this summer. Wrong!!!! They looked like horse riding pants. They stuck out where my hip and thighs used to be. Talking about fabric with a memory! I was solid and firm also. Skin was stretched to the limit thats why. Because I sure wasn't doing anything to stay tight. I had HUGH ARMS. Now I can't see my weight lost in the mirror because I am too busy looking at the BAT WINGS. To the Bat Cave. I think if I tried I could fly with these wings. My breast went way south. But I tell my self thats ok because they are no longer entering the room 10 minutes before the rest of me. This is an adjustment for all of us. It took a while to get use to being heavy so I guess it'll take a minute to love this new body.

Sherry you sound like me raising my arm in the Walmart security cam to see if that was me.

I have definately had those same feelings. I am often surprized that other people even notice the wt. loss because I have a hard time seeing it. But then even at my highest weight, I didn't see that either - it wasn't until I would see a picture of myself that I would be shocked that I was so big. I kinda think it is like how the anorexic girls look at themselves and see a distorted image. Our minds are so wierd! I don't believe regular sized people have these feelings - do you?

Highest weight ever was 255 Surgery weight was 240 Today's weight is 183 Height is 5'3" 57 pounds since surgery..........I am amazed! Vicky 240/183/140

Highest 337 Day of surgery 334, I am still trying to figure out how I lost three pounds Current 265 Total loss - 73lbs. I am very pleased and I have toned up a lot. I thank God everyday for this surgery, no doubt I would have died young on the path I was headed.
