So i don't know why, but the past couple of weeks I have felt more thin than ever and today I felt like I still weighed 320 lbs...I even caught a glimpse of myself in a mirror and said I thought I was looking better than that. Maybe a little body dismorphic disorder going on. I went to zumba this afternoon and thought my new work out clothes looked good until I sat in the car and looked down at the big tummy roll I had going on. I have lost 105 lbs (depending on the day) and I am 5' 10" and weigh 215 now and a size 14 / 16, which is great considering i was a 24 / 26 to start with, but today I might as well have been back at the beginning because that's how i felt!!!

Isn't it funny how we are usually the last to see the weight loss even though we see ourselves everyday? This is one reason why taking pictures often is necessary. I know I am terrible about doing this because I still hate pictures of me. It's all in my head. Don't look at how far you have to go, look at how far you have come. Head up! You have something to be proud of and you are worth the pride.0

105 pounds that is wonderful good for you. I think we all look at in the mirror and still see the old us, we want results. I bet if you hold up a pair of your old pants in front of you in the mirror you would realize what a great job you have done, you are down 10 sizes that is great!!! I have lost 32 pounds and I look at my belly when sitting down and think that I haven't lost either. That is until I put on some of my favorite shorts and they fall off, that is my motivation I don't want to shop in the women's section anymore. Be proud of what you have accomplished so far and it will keep you going. :happy:0

I completely understand what you mean. You would think after losing nearly 70 pounds I would look in the mirror and see the difference. I dont. Everyone else sees it...I am always having people tell me that I look great and I am "melting away." But when I look in the mirror I still see the same 300 pound Pam staring back at me. I have been told that it takes a while for the brain to catch up with the eyes...I keep hoping eventually I will see it too
I think it is awesome that you have lost 105 pounds! I cant wait until I can say them same! Congrats on your hard work and just know that you are healthier for it! 0 -
The mental part is the hardest. For me, it got easier. Somewhere along the way I learned to love myself "as-is". And at almost 4 years out, I finally see the thin me.0
