Some days I look in the mirror and I'm very critical of my tummy area and I feel like I'm the same 264 pound women.When I'm shopping I still grab XL shirts, and sz 15 jeans thinking thats the size I need. When people ask me what size I need I ask them because I really have no perception of what my size is still(some days I do like when I took the pictures yesterday but the majority of days I have no Idea). I feel uncomfortable in clothing like tank tops and spaghetti straps,and rarely do I wear shorts.(I feel like I have issues with my inner thighs and upper arms) I feel like the public doesn't want to see me in those items.

Now that I'm back in school and trying to wear tank tops, shorts, ect. I am uncomfortable about the attention. Guys are saying "hey you?" ect. I'm conservative and really don't like that attention I'm not even really flattered. The only people I care to have positive attention/admiration from is my fiance', friends, and family. and of course the people on here because of the great support everyone gives

Well, I think you look fantastic! Wait till you see me, 53 years old with a tummy dragging my knees if I get as skinny as you! lol

However, I've always been self-consious and always been very modest and I've never had the figure to wear anything but jeans, pants, a long skirt and 3-4 sleeves. It will still be that way because even if I lose weight, at my age, skin WILL sag a LOT.

Take care!
