I wasn't shy before, and certainly am not now.  But I'd like to know how people are overcoming that!

I do a full body workout, but I also concentrate on my arms, and thighs.  They're my real problem spots.

My mind goes both ways.  Sometimes, I see the skinnier me, and other times I still feel like the fat me.  If I stood next to someone who was wearing the same size pants, I'd think I was bigger.

This one sort of follows along the same thought train from the one for Saturday...

Do you forget how big you really were until you see a picture from before your surgery/weight loss? Does everyone else seem to forget? When you look in the mirror is the same person looking back at you that was looking at you pre op?

For the shy people who used to be invisible--How do we get out and meet people?? How do we become visible?

How do you train your mind to see the real you and not the MO you still??  Or, CAN you train your mind to do so?  LOL
