Just when you think you are doing well....

I try to only compare myself now to myself then, which helps some. I can see the 15 pounds difference in my face, my neck, my backside. I'm still fat. But I'm better than I was. That way it's not to some standard of thin that I couldn't have possibly gotten to yet. It helps.

I also happen to notice when I lose a little weight it comes off in certain areas that make my stomach look like it is protruding more, bc when I'm thicker it fills in the edges around my belly fat and looks more uniform. I try to remind myself of this and that it's actually a good thing and to keep going. Tho it's really hard when people keep asking if you're pregnant

This I can definitely relate too! Seems like, as I lose weight, things get...well...squishier, before they get smaller. Some things even look bigger...which doesn't make sense, unless maybe you are right about it just being more "uniform". I feel all lumpy now LOL

Thanks everyone for being able to relate in some way. I am not giving up, I just want this so bad that I get impatient and frustrated.

I know how you feel. Been there, still struggle with it. But when I have a bad hair day never for one moment do I consider just shaving my head. Well...maybe for one moment...but not really. Don't give up. It will make the days you feel like a million bucks so worth it.

I can certainly relate. It is just part of the adjustment process. All you can do is to keep moving forward, at whatever speed you are able to move forward.
