More Body Dysmorphia Weirdness

I feel the same way; it affects my whole face. I wish there was a way to cover it with makeup or something.

Liz - your neck and jawline now are so lovely and sculpted it's amazing! Makes me consider using your plastic surgeon when the time comes (I expect I will need this), even though he's 3000 miles away from me!

I hear you on the Crappy skin on the neck!!! I can cover my bat wings and flabby gut but my neck is just out there. I have so many pretty necklaces but don't want to draw attention to my neck.

Exactly how I felt!

Liz your before/after piccys are astonishing! Holy cow! You're gorgeous!

OMG, IRK? How in the hell do they make those store mirrors?? I totally get how one day you feel fine in an outfit and the next one, not so much! I hear you on the neck part. You can't hide those wrinkles very easily. Isn't it ridiculous how hard we are on ourselves with our own personal filters, and never in a million years would we apply those same filters to others? We only see the beauty?

BTW (amazing work on 100+ lb loss woman)!!! Hey, maybe they'd give us a group rate for PS. Like: do 6 necks, get one free? It could happen!

LOL; wouldn't it be great if they'd do group rates, lol? Awesome idea.

I'm sorry that you are feeling down. The rapid change in weight really does mess with your perspective on self and your body. I've lost almost 100 pounds in 6 months and my body feels really foreign to me. I don't know how to judge my size and I "feel" completely different when I touch myself, which really wierds me out sometimes.

Just remember that the phrases that were used are just labels and not who you are inside. Find some way to treat yourself (not food) and be kind a gentle until it feels a little better. This is a tough ride in many ways even in success!

I agree 100% with this.

Congrats on 100lbs in 6 months! Holy sh** woman! You're amazeballs! Yes, so strange how long it takes for our minds to catch up with ourselves. This is pretty close to what I feel right now! TY for your wisdom and advice! Mr. Fluffy and I talked about that very thing (non-food rewards and growing together in this journey, rather than apart) yesterday on the way to the RD appt. TY hon!

And btw? Your before/after pic looks like a completely different person! You are so beautiful and look so healthy now. (I too carry a lot of my weight in my face/neck area.)
