Question... or venting time... u pick.

I am 5 months out and have lost 93 lbs and feel great... but when I look at myself, I dont see 93 lbs gone... It is really weird to me that I dont see it... did anyone else have this? Thanks guys!

Hi Emily, I have this ALL the time. I lost 250 pounds so far and I still see myself as I always have...chubby! I was SO big for SO long, I don't ever think I'll see myself as being my true weight. I know I have lost a lot of weight- I look at myself in the mirror everyday- however, I still "feel" obese. To me, I think it's a feeling that will never go away. I feel great and that's what counts! I'm glad to hear that you are feeling great! Christine

Oh Yes... I found a preop photo of me recently. I was flabergasted. I had not realized just how far I have come. There are days... I think... I have not changed THAT much. Wrong... It takes so much longer for our minds to catch up with the ever changing body.

Hi Emily, Time for you to put a "Pre-Op " Photo up by your mirror. You will see the difference. Our heads take time to adjust to oue new looks, so relax and enjoy your continues sucess!

Thank you to everyone that responded... I figured that much that it was just my "head" but needed some type of reassurance. Thanks again!!!
