I dont know what it is, but i can not tell a difference when i look at myself in the mirror.  I know that i have lost weight, i know that all the clothes in my closet have been replaced twice now and probably need to again.  BUT I CANT SEE DIFFERENCE WHEN I LOOK IN THE MIRROR.

 

 

ANYONE ELSE???????????????

Most of us deal with this weird mirror "blindness".  My eyes don't see what I know to be true.  You are in good company with the rest of us.  I think it takes a long while for the eyes to catch up with the weight loss.
I have maintained for one year at this point.  I am steady at -120 pounds.  =)

Denise and I just talked about that the other night....She said she can't see herself as she is now....Man I could!!! What a change, since I saw her at my first Support group....The one that Cowboy attended just after his surgery....Other people see it more quickly than you do I think!!
So basically everyone Denise is looking hot! No I am not gay! lol

Sherry, you are too sweet!  Given our other conversation about companionship it would sure be easy if we could swing the other way, wouldn't it?!?!

Hikack- and how is life with the face serpent?

Denise, I tell only the truth!!!

I think I may need to lower the pressure on my serpent.....I feel as if I am blowing my head up with a high powered air tank when it hits the 9!! lol I'm going to try it again tonight, then I may discuss how to change it down a bit....I think a 7 would be fine. I don't know what the doc will say but good heavens, my ears are even feeling aired up today!! lol  Sher

I see it in my face and my clothes but my belly is still huge to me.  As for you, I could tell you have lost a lot Karen.  Hope to see you soon so I can see how much more you have taken off.

It took a long time for my head to catch up to the mirror. Actually, only for the past couple of months or so has it decided to catch up. Yes, other people definitely can tell before we can.

DH and I were furniture shopping planning to move into a home we've made an offer on over the weekend, and we were looking at bar stools. I picked the sturdier wood ones and he picked the metal.  He said, "Why don't you like the metal?" I said, "Because I'll crater that chair. The legs will bend and drop me on the floor."

He said, "I weigh more than you do, and it's just fine with me. You're not heavy anymore." I said, "I know, but the fat chick still resides in me somewhere, coming out to mock me occasionally." I need to put her to rest for good.

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I KNOW I HAVE LOST WEIGHT AND EVERYONE ELSE CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE BUT NOT ME. I STILL SEE THE FAT LADY IN THE MIRROR. I HOPE TO SEE THE SKINNY ME BEFORE TOO LONG!!
