Will I EVER???
Congrats Darla dear!
I'm half way to goal.. none of my old clothes fit... I'm 3 sizes down from where I was.. 55 lbs gone.. and what do I see? THE OLD ME!
I still see the 240lb me.. not the 185 lb me... and I physically feel better, can walk further, get thru smaller spaces, and I know I'm continuing to lose weight. But I have no idea when/if my head will ever catch up. Maybe it will when I actually hit my goal #... I don't know.
Glad to hear that even at half way to goal I'm not loco to still feel BIG.. I know I'm still overweight but I'm not nearly what I was!

I get what you are saying! People tell me I am thin, I don't see it, or feel it so often. Sometimes I feel it, but not often enough. when I look in the mirror, I can admire my shoulders, my collar bones, my thinner legs; and when I just sit and look at them, I like my thinner fingers and wrists and forearms, heck, I'm not even bothered by my batwings. But I can't accept my gut. I know it's not fat-stuffed anymore, but it still invades my ability to wear clothes properly, and when I look at it in the mirror, it still looks pretty much the same as it used to. Actually, it's more physically uncomfortable than it used to be. I'm a size 10, have been for almost a year, and always dreamed of being this size. I should be happy, but I'm not. I feel like my journey is incomplete. I stil feel like the fat girl in a crowd, even when, intellectually, I know I'm not.
