Am I having unrealistic expectations?
Thanks Debra your reply has given me a lot to think about, I am wearing a size 12 which I can't believe, I have never been a size 12. I love the way I feel, so much more energy, I just physically feel so much better. But when I look into the mirror I still see a fat girl, I don't know whats up with that because everybody tells me I look great. One even said that he wouldn't have know who I was if I hadn't have been with my husband. I don't see the difference (well maybe a little) but I do feel a whole lot better almost like a completely different woman. I don't think I would ever fall into the bulimia or anorexic way, I currently have a family member who is going through that right now and it is very destructive. I am going to try my hardest to look at things in a whole new perspective, I know that it was God's will that I had surgery, so I need to be thankful to God for the changes that He has allowed me to have, and for saving my life.

I'm half the woman I used to be!!
WOW YOU HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB!! I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.I HAVE LOST OVER A WHOLE PERSON BUT I STILL HAVE A GOAL SET AND I AM DETERMINED TO GET TO IT. BUT FIRST I HAVE SET SMALLER GOALS ALONG THE WAY SO THAT I CAN CELEBRATE THEM. I LOST 100LBS AND THAT WAS MY FIRST GOAL. THEN I GOT WHERE I WEIGHED UNDER 200LBS AND THAT WAS MY SECOND GOAL. MY NEXT GOAL IS TO WEIGH THE WEIGHT ON MY DRIVERS LICENSE WHICH IS 160LBS. I AM 13 LBS AWAY FROM THAT GOAL. AND THEN THE BIG GOAL WHICH IS 130LBS. SO WE WILL GET THERE EVENTUALLY BUT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE HAS SAID...DID YOU EVER IMAGINE THAT YOU WOULD LOSE THIS MUCH THIS QUICKLY? ME NEITHER! AND I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD GET TO WEAR A SIZE 12 AND SOMETIMES A SIZE 10 AND MED SHIRTS. I WAS IN 3-4X SHIRTS AND SIZE 28-30 PANTS!! SO CELEBRATE YOUR BIG ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND THE SMALL ONES TOO!!
