feeling obese

Okay, so by the books i am still obese. I am 146lbs and 5'2". But that i a far cry from the 326lbs i started at. Today in my H&P for my upcoming PS I mentioned to my dr that i am thick and even after the TT i will still be thick. He didn't make me feel any better by telling me it was the extra skin and adipose that remain. Adipose is fat!!!! Although he said i didn't "look" obese, i was on the high end for my stature. No suprise, but i still didn't like it, I want to have one of those slender builds and i just think that even at 110 i just won't! Anyway just feeling a little over sensitive. I have made grea success and it is this i should focus on...thick or not! Peace, Thick melinda

Dang right you have made great success!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you go girl. I bet you look great. Don't let anyone make you feel like you are obese. You are awesome!!!!!!

I think you're being WAY too hard on yourself! You have come so far and done such a fantastic job!!!!!! I've never been a "skinny mini" and that's ok. I look way better now than I did at 328lbs and I feel so much stronger and healthier~that's what's most important! I know the games our minds can play with us, but don't let it get you down. Hang in there!!!!!!!!!!! Tracy B 328/150 5'9"

Bless your heart. You have made tremendous strides and have done awesome. Some of us aren't meant to be stick skinny, be happy and proud of your accomplishments, you have done so well.

How far out are you? I am 5' 2" tall also. I weigh 125 right now. MY lowest weight was 112 and I was skeletal!! I don't care what the rich say..you can be too thin!! I have very thick legs..calves and thighs!! I used to roller skate as a teen and swam quite a bit. There is thick muscle in my calf. In high school I weighed 117, but envied all my friends because they could wear knee high boots and I just could not find a size 6 boot wide enough to zip!! Now I own 2 pairs of knee high boots.. ( thanks to more wide widths and stretch materials) . My original point was to say that I was at 140 pounds 9 months out ( my goal weight) and I continued to lose down to 112 over the next 10 months. Please don't be too hard on yourself!! You have come a long way. You know we are always our own worst critic!! We tend to pick on our flaws..and it seems everyone else is perfect to us. Learn to love yourself..thickness and all!! My 16 year old son has my legs..nice and thick, but hard as a rock!! And a round booty..that the girls love!! Renee

I'm also 5-2 and weight around 160, so imagine how I feel. I dare not even go for a consult right now. I plan to tell the doc to lipo out as much "adipose" as he can! Good luck!
