So I took some pics this weekend when I went shopping. Man, my perception is still REALLY skewed. On one hand I think I look too freakin skinny, but on the other I think I look sooooo F-A-T still. WTH??  I don't know, but I do think I need to lose about 10-15 more pounds of fat.

I didnt post these on the main VSG board because I feel really insecure about how I look lately. :(

Anyway! Y'all know how big my boobs have been up until recently (I can post a pic if you don't recall lol). Now they are like normal boobs. I haven't had normal sized boobs in ummm 25 years. I still fit best in a D cup because I have to squish all the side skin in the bra - you know, that overhang stuff. The plastic surgeon did say that I have a lot of extra skin under my arms (like my armpits, on the sides of my torso).

This is with a ruffle adding extra fluff!!




This is why I like standing to the side in pics - wiiiiiiiide waist - ugh


one racy pic - this is Victorias secret 36C


Miss Me size 29 jeans woot woot! I love them but didn't buy them because I want to lose more weight and don't know what size I will end up.


bebe shirt - I bought this


erggg that is my hipbone protruding on the right side of the pic

And one last fun one - went out for my 40th birthday this weekend!!


Thanks for looking!

I hope your head catches up with your body soon because you look fantastic! No one would ever believe you were once fat.

The head issues are crazy huh? I have the opposite problem as you so I don't know what to tell you. In my head I am hot and thin, then I look at photos and I think the camera must be lying and I cringe when I look in the mirror.

So I avoid both because my delusion is better than my reality. Have you considered taking a break from mirrors from the neck down or photos for a while? This way you might give your head time to catch up. Just an idea...

OMG I feel the same way as you! My hubby bought me a VS corset a couple weeks ago and asked to take pics of me in it and I refused because I knew I would hate it once I saw myself in it in the pics and I wanted to keep feeling sexy in it...

My husband said I should lose another 15 lbs. The plastic surgeon said it would be ok. I still hold fat in my thighs and butt and some in my mid section. The problem is that it keeps coming off every where else!! grrr
