Regain Blues
I missed the post but having seen your UK and other pics I know you are not fat. You might not be where you want to be but you are in a good place. You look firm and fit and normal not fat.
Neurotic me knows better than anyone that "average" just ain't good enough when you've gained and you want to be slender. Our minds tell us we're too fat because we're not skinny. We compare ourselves to body types that are nothing like our own. Body dysmorphia takes over.
You may struggle with getting back to your lowest but you have nothing to be ashamed of. You've got a great body.

LV'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
Not just certifiable but certified. I'm reasonably neurotic and non psychotic. All I see when I look at my self are my fat sloppy belly and thighs.
From what I can glimpse under those baggy clothes you wear, you have a perfectly proportioned hourglass figure. Just like a sister should have. I'd love to see you in a form fitting sweater dress or leggins and a tunic sweater. You would look sooooo fabulous. Hopefully you'd see how beautiful your body really is.

I'm a little crazy but you would still look awesome. A few of your vacation pics let slip a glimpse of your shapely figure. You need to rock that body girl. Regain be damned, you still got it going on.
This is my regain. I'm shaped like a barrel. (Excerp from my blog.) Size be damned I want to have a shapely figure.
My tummy at goal. I've been working on tightening up these abs.
Look at me now. Damnit I look pregnant. Once again I'm Winnie the Pooh shaped.

Post the picture back up. I want to see all the curves and booblicious. I have the same thing going in on my head. I have always wanted to be as skinny as the people around me. I never realized that I was not meant to be a size 2 until now. I use to blame it on the bones, but each woman is shaped different and look diff.

Na, i'm not going to put them up. I was really sad when I put them up and I should have never put them up.
I don't want to be as skinny as the people around me I want to be skinner than them. LOL
I really hate the head issues that come along with WLS and a gain.

I totally relate to what you are saying. I don't think you're anyway near fat but when I look in the mirror and look at my pics, I see fat, fat, fat. I recently weighed 182 and about fainted. I started adding lemon to my water and doing whatever I could to lose weight. I weighed in at 176 this morning but I'm not satisfied. My class reunion is this weekend. This head trip with wls is no joke but you also have to realize that you have lymph edema and that will make you swell. I think you look great.
I didn't see the pics but pics definetly make you look bigger than IRL.
Lee, if you yourself said the pics make you look smaller than IRL, then it really is all in your head.
Dont let this journey put you in thta mind *****
I'm sure you didn't look half as bad as you think!!!!!!! STOP THAT SHIOT!!!!!!!
