What is your comfort level?

I think you hit the nail on the head with it driving home how awful we must have looked.  Maybe that is the shame or embarrassment that I am feeling. 

I too was always the BIGGEST. It didn't help that my brother and sister were extra small.

Now the weight is off but I fail to see thin, slender and certainly not tiny. Odd that I can recognize the bones poking through though.

My hubby will proudly announce that I've worked hard to loose over 200 lbs. I have a blank stare.

Yesterday at Chemo weigh in, I commented that I felt huge and bulbous and even removed my sandals. Weight : a healthy 120 lbs. Then another woman approached the scale. I commented that SHE looked thin and skinny. Reality check happened when she announced " YAY, 120 lbs".

Guess I am destined to have a FAT BRAIN  

Oh Sweet Annette,

I so know what you mean.   I will never see myself in my correct size.  My body image is so warped.   I feel and think I weigh hundreds of pounds and still take off my shoes when I weigh.   How silly we gals are.  Love you 

Lightswitch....I am so glad you have posted this thread. After reading all that everyone has posted I feel more determined then ever to lose this regain. I am working on eating better. As soon as I am able to get out and walk again I will be doing that. This thread and all the great people replying of their success has helped me feel more positive. I did this once and I will do it again! Even when I was a size 0-2  I always felt fat....my head is sure messed up!! I listened to all the people that said I looked sick and unhealthy. I felt better then I ever had!! I ate more so I could look healthier....NOT the right move at all!! Now I feel fat and sluggish again!! This is NOT acceptable!!

Thank you so much....all of you!!

Love and hugs....connie d

I know what you mean about our heads being screwed up.   The thing with our tool, once we get back on track, the weight does come off:  lots of water, exercise, small plates, meat first, green vegetables, etc.   

Thank you,..smile...
