122lbs gone and still working

Well I am still losing getting to the point where people are telling me you don't need to lose anymore but I still have a goal in mind. I am tall so I can still carry more weight and people think I weigh less but my goal is healthy weight not please others weight.

I have joined a fitness boot camp military style and it is going great my body never has a chance to get use to the work out because it changes all the time. I have pushed myself in ways I never would have working out alone so I am thankful for the class.

my eating is still fine just still working on eating enough sometimes it's hard when your not hungry. I just don't want to go from one extreme to another over eater then under eater. gotta find a balance.

I am also still dealing with the fat girl syndrome I still see myself as a big girl even though people laugh when I say that. I have to focus on being happy with myself and satisfied with my body but when you have been big most of your life your so use to being invisible. You get comfortable in fat girl mode everyone ignores you because they don't want to acknowledge your size. Now people see me differently but I still see fat girl lol I am working on it. I was out on a date and the guy made a comment about two large women who walk into the restaurant of course about there size. I was upset and felt a little insecure because I was not to shortly ago one of them.

Funny how losing weight changes your whole world view and how the world sees you. Even with all that I am still very happy and positive about my future just have some things to work out.

Congrats on your amazing weight loss. and keep up the good work.

You look FAB btw.  Congrats on the loss.  Stay strong and do what you think is best for YOU. 

You are looking great.  Congrats on your success to this point.  I know what you are talking about with self image.  It is hard to see the changes at times.  You have been doing amazing. 

Welcome to the whole new world that you are finding.  You are no longer invisible.  No hiding behing the big girl image anymore.  Hugs

I can really understand your struggle with still having the "big girl' self image. Sometimes I wonder if the fat girl in me will pop in from time to time forever. I have days I see the new slender me, and others I feel so big. A size 8...hmmm big??? NOT.. but some days I feel the fat girl in my mind. I work at changing this mentality, as that is all it really is. An old way of looking at myself that still creeps in from time to time.  When my inner fat girl visits me, i acknowledge her. Mentally give her a hug and tell her I love her, but she has no place in my life now and that it is time for her to find peace. Then I put on something that looks good on me and remind myself of how far I have come and that the ghost of my fat girl may just be popping in from time to time to remind me of where I was and that I never want to return there.

I too find it very insulting when people make FAT comments or jokes. My favorite reply is "was that supposed to be funny?" as i look them dead in the eye with a very unamused look on my face. Lets just say, the conversation turns quickly away from that subject.

You get to where you feel good and are healthy. Don't let society dictate to you what is best. It is between you and your doctor. Just be sure to stay healthy and take care of YOU always!
Congrats on your success. Hugs!
