My pants!

I took a picture of my tight size 28 pants and then a picture of the current size 8 pants I am wearing.  I know that I have lost weight, but I am really having a hard time as seeing my self as thinner.  I mean, I know I am thinner but, in my head I am still the fattest Mom on the soccer field.  How long does that go on???  I look at the size 8's and think, "gosh, those look small".  Then I put them on my body and I don't see small.  I keep hearing this is normal. Anyway, here are my before and after pants.

Anytime you doubt your weight loss- look at this picture.

Hi Kim - I'm not sure that feeling ever goes away, but if it gets particularly worrisome, there are some great therapists out there who deal with the emotions associated with wls. However, the most tangible proof, like Aime said, is to look at the picture!!!  What an awesome accomplishment!! Tia

you know what you need to do, go ahead.  Put on those "OLD" pants and leave the house, it the market.  You will realized that you need those size 8's.  You go GIRL! Hugs Kristen

Whoo hoooo isn't that fantastic!!! You have done an awesome job now believe it and treat yourself!!  You deserve only but the best.

Sorry- I havene't had my surgery yet but I think I'd carry that picture with me everywhere- What an amazing difference!!  Congratulations- Donna
