6.5 months out now... I put up some new pictures and I think I'm actually beginning to see it a bit.  lol My therapist had an interesting suggestion. Pick out pictures of those folks who are close to you at this new weight and about the same height and build.  Look at them... are they heavy?  That is what you look like. She said we don't have a problem seeing others as they are, it's seeing ourselves.  So relating what we look like to something that we actually SEE helps that self imaging. Just another tactic :) *hugs*

Thanks Nicole  :) It's coming along...  slowly but that's ok too... I didn't get that way in 6 months so it's going to take a while to catch up. and Thanks  :)  I'm off to walk as soon as I'm done here!  It feels so good to get out!
