Strange feelings....

So I am not a whiner or anything and I am so happy with my weight loss and am thankful that I had the surgery, but....I don't recognize myself....not just in the mirror but in many of my actions and responses to situations....weird!  I have lost 114 pounds and have 40 to go.....I don't know what will happen when I hit my goal.  My relationships with EVERYONE are changing.   I am gonna see someone about this...even though I think that it just takes time to get to know yourself again.... anyone else have any suggestions other than more chatting with my psychologist?

I think you are doing the right thing by going to talk to someone...this isn't an easy journey in more ways than one!!!! We don't always think about anything else but the weight loss when we start this,..It has really amazed me over the years how peoples lives have changed, I've noticed if you REALLY have a good, strong relationship it gets better and if you don't, it shows it's true character. I'm sure you have to come to the realization that it isn't just you!!! I think it is great that you are willing to take the steps to make your life easier as far as relearning how to deal with your life and realationships on a whole new level. Best Wishes and BIG HUGS!!

Deanna, Thanks for replying.  I feel sooooo weird. I am working on it and I think that the weight loss just happened so fast for me that I am having a tough time wrapping my brain around the face that looks back at me in the mirror.  I also did not have time to work through some of my issues that I had before the weight loss and now that my weight is not the biggest problem something else is at the top of the list.  So I am making an appointment today.  Thanks for your support. debra
