Is it all in my head?

I think it is an all in our head thing. Some days I look in the mirror and I see what Gina is talking about other days I still look at myself some and think I am bigger than I need to be. HEAD GAMES. I have been as low as 111. I am 115 today and have struggled with feeling fat today. So like I said head games! Others will start noticing more and more. Your confidence will build. You are doing great don't be hard on yourself.
Nothing tastes as good as this feels!

 I started seeing the difference in my body when I got to the 170's.  I think I've lost pretty evenly all over my body.  I love looking at myself in my exercise clothes, except my arms.  GRRRRR

At this point, I still have another 30+ pounds to go, but I'm allowing myself to appreciate everything that my body is doing along the way.  I spent years avoiding mirrors.  Now I have two walls of floor to ceiling mirrors in my bedroom.  I get dressed and spend time looking at myself, marveling that this is the body that I live in today.

My goal was to be healthier by my 60th birthday.  Not only will I be healthier, but I'll look a lot younger on my birthday next week.

I agree about keeping the girls up there.  I started in a 42DDD and now I'm in a 36 DD.  I love it!  Maybe the girls will stick around.  Nah, probably not.  :)


Now to get the rest of the weight off......

I know exactly where you are at. I started at 230 myself and down to 171, logically I know I am smaller and smaller clothes fit, but my head still sees the fat girl. I think it just takes awhile for our brains to catch up with our bodies.
You are not crazy, unless I am too! LOL

hoping my head will catch up one day......until then....i'll just take evreyone's word for it!
