Do you ever feel like you weigh 500 pounds even though you know you dont?   i'm what? 3.5 years post op and have done well keeping my wt off - but, i still feel like i am too heavy - seems like no number is low enough - why?   does anyone else feel this way?

I am 6 years out on Monday coming...I do feel large sometimes still.  It does take a lot for your head to get around the change from the identity you once had....I weighed between 250 and 300 pounds for for 26 years...I'm always in awe when I fold my size 10 jeans when I do the laundry.  I can't figure out how I get my body into such "reasonably  sized" clothing items. Then again I am really good at noticing where I still have fleshy parts and over focus on those spots...I'm not great at looking at the whole picture. 

When I get into a negative frame of mind because I never got to my 135 goal, I force myself to get out the shorts that I kept, and the photos I have dubbed "formerly known as Alice" and spend my time putting things in perspective again.

yep 9 years out still have dysmorphic thinking

At 400+lbs I was shocked when I saw pictures and saw what I really looked like, I really did not see myself that way...I mean I knew I was big but didn not visualize myself that big.

At goal now I still focus too much on the thighs, definately kept my pear shape. When I see pictures I am amazed how tiny I look--my arms and face look so tiny and the legs really look okay.

so when huge I felt smaller
when smaller I feel bigger..................so mixed up!
Gratitude is my attitude
