I need some help

Anyone have major success in weight loss (you define major) but still dont feel as though you are "there"? I have dropped a lot of weight and have people tell me all the time how great I look and ask me how I did it and be proud of yourself, etc, but I just dont FEEL like I thought I would after losing so much.

Any others? Or I am just crazy (be nice!)

Right there with you, afraid I don't have any advice to give on it per se .

I have people tell me all the time how diferent I look, and I should feel comfortable enough to "stop". I thought I would feel a ton different at this size, but I still always know that I look so different than other girls (ex: like at bars or shopping in the mall). I keep telling myself if I get down to "x" weight, itll be different and thatll be the time to level out.

I'm obviously a good amount (about 20 pounds) heavier than people who are comfortable with their height/weight/frame size, so I keep trying to go even further down. Especially because I feel like I don't see that major of a change when I look at myself in the mirror from where I was all those years ago. Don't know if that self confidence will ever kick in =/

Think we have to try and remember that we HAVE had a loss and that IS something to be proud of. And we're not only doing it for ourselves, but maybe to let others see that they can do it too.

So no, you're not crazy

ME!!!!!!! I often hear how "amazing" i look, how "tiny" i got, blah blah. But i look at myself, and i think... YUCK. This last 30 lbs is making me insane. Don't know if i have helpful advice, but im in the same boat for sure!

I dont think you are nuts at all. People always tell me "you are getting so skinny" and all I can think is that they must be on crack because I have a looooong way to go! In a way, it sort of points out to me that I am still not at goal. Hmmm..now that I see what I have written maybe I am the one that is a little bit nuts! :laugh:
