I Have a Question...R U Satisfied??

I put this out there on another forum...

I am 5'9 and 165 pounds (goal was 175) and I still want to lose 5 more pounds...Why? I really don't know, just do, plus I see myself as fat

Question: Do you still consider yourself fat?

I want to see how many folks here that have hit goal or whatever and are satisfied.. Are you satisfied with your weight loss? 

I can't speak for myself yet, cause I haven't had my surgery . But..My best friend had the surgery over 3 years ago, and she is down to 132 pounds, and still complains that she is fat. She is still obsessed with getting on the scale every day and totally freaks out if there is  a one pound gain. I try to tell her all the time that she is beautiful and that she looks great. But all she says is that I'll be the same way...I hope not!

So I guess what you are going through is COMPLETELY normal. BTW..Congrats on your weight loss. You look Beautiful...

The fat mentality is really hard to shake. I call it PSMF (Post Surgery Mind ****) ....LOL

 

LOL..I love that!!

i'm satisfied with my weight loss but i still see myself as fat, even at 100 pounds.

I wish there were some way to get that out of our heads... but maybe that is what helps us to keep the weight off

Ugh.... I have this battle every damn day with my partner. I am 5 pounds away from Kaiser's goal and 25 pounds away from mine.

I am down a total of 135 pounds and 75 since surgery. I still feel 300 pounds. When I look down and see that bulge I feel like it is one of the 5 rolls I had originally. When I look in the mirror I see size 26 not 10.... My partner is constantly saying i am shrinking I am so little, don't lose anymore... It makes me almost cry. Will I ever feel thin and confident? I have been told it takes a year for the brain to catch up to the body. But I have a hard time ever seeing my emotional mind catching up with my logical mind.

I don't know if YOU will ever feel normal... Me being 2 plus years out I still think I am fat. 

I will tell you one more secret of mine... I don't shop in the Mall because I still think people are watching me saying what is that fat girl doing in here.... crazy huh 

Ro, I am 5'3" and currently weigh ~150.  I got down to 135 and looked emaciated.  Almost immediately, I bounced back up to 140 and stayed there for 2 years.  Then, I started nursing school and gained 15 pounds the first year.  I lost 5 pounds this summer.

I am not actively trying to lose the extra 10 pounds, but I sure as hell want it gone.  I wear a size 8 and was in a 6.  It really bothers me that I can no longer wear clothes that are in my closet because they are too small.

I know that if I were to have PS, I would lose about 10 pounds, so for the most part, I'm good with where my weight is.  I no longer look like a bobblehead.  LMAO.

The excess skin is what makes me still feel fat.  If that were gone, I think I would be more than satisfied with myself.

so tell me are you on your way to getting plastics or are you just gonna do without?
