I did not realize I was really fat until about six months post op.  At 285 lbs and a size 20 in a world of Anne Taylor dressed size 2s at work, I still did not feel fat or view myself as fat. 

Now that I'm within ten lbs of what I weighed in high school I feel huge.  I was considered a little chubby then (we'd say thick today), was one to two sizes bigger than my friends, but still in normal sizes.  

Its like I've returned to 1980 wanting to have a 24" waist and wear a 9/10 but having a 26-28" waist wearing an 11/12-13/14.  How could I know I am overweight in the 160's yet be blind to obesity in the 280's?  I've got plenty of head work to do.

yea - the head game of the WLS is probably the hardest part - in the beginning we are all about the #s - till we start seeing the changes - then the ish gets interesting......

No, I never forget that I was fat (I am still fat according to the bull shiggidy BMI chart).  I struggle with the inner fat girl all the time.  Most of the time, I do not see what other people see when they comment on how I now look.  I like being called  "thick" too but if I don't stop entertaining the carb monster this thick chick is going to go back to fat.

No I still feel fat and think fat. I have a fat mentality and automatically go to the size 3x section when I go in a store. The other day it took 3 tries before I got the right size skirt. I bought a 12 and took it home and it was huge so I tried a 10 on in the store and the size 8 fit !!!! I refused to buy it because I didn't believe it and I'm supposed to be gaining weight according to my surgeon.

I always say, us big girls need to stick together, or will this be big enough for me? My family thinks I'm anorexic and a little looney. lol   My pictures from this weekend that I put on fb, I don't think I look thin, I think that I could stand to lose some more weight. I don't know if I'll ever forget I was fat.

Sometimes I do and sometimes I do not...But more times I do than I don't if that makes sense...I am weighing in @ 171 and am 5'3" and have more to lose but even when and if I get to goal I am sure it will take time to adjust...There have been MANY changes occuring that make me realize that I am no longer "fat" and that feels good but there is so much more that I want to accomplish with my weight loss...I have NEVER been under a 14/16 and under 200 lbs (except when I made it to 200 and above)...This is all new to be and I am loving it.

This is a good question. I don't think I can ever forget it. It's just weird because for me I just feel like my old self but honestly I haven't been this weight in about 10 or more years. It's weird cause all my family is like...........girl you skinny. Trust me, I am no where near skinny but it just all seems weird. I try my hardest not to forget where I come from, cause I don't plan on returning.

When nothing else could help................LOVE lifted me!!!!
