Well, that is not something I can help you with, but I will say that it is encouraging to me that you have come so far! My surgeon says that I could get down to 140-150 and I think she's crazy! Maybe she's not far off!0

I don't know that it's a matter of satisfaction (because I know how you are feeling) - I know in my mind I can't weigh 0 lbs, but I haven't turned off the fat girl switch and don't know when or if it will ever get turned off - but I have seen your narrow behind and you are by no means fat anymore!!!! So I guess we have to find a place where we are comfortable and realize that there has to be a stopping point, because you don't want to lose so much that you are unhealthy again, but sickly skinny unhealthy. I am trying to put on the breaks now too and its difficult!!!0

I guess I would be more comfortable with not being satisfied than becoming complacent. Complacent can be a bad road. I can also identify with other kinds of addicts, as I will always consider myself to be a big huge fat guy, whatever I weigh.
But you shouldn't beat yourself up. You've done fantastic.0 -
My personal weight goal is to be at 130-140 I am at 157 yesterday. My surgeon's goal is 155. I feel the same way. In my head I still think of me as obese. I look at my size 10 jeans and can see they are smaller but in my head I can compute it! I guess I need to put the one pair of pants I kept that are a size 3XL to get the jest of just how much I have lost. I donated or took all my too big clothes to the consignment shop. I did put a bra on yesterday thinking I could still wear it and it was huge on me! I think putting on our old fat clothes can help for us to realize how far we have come!
Congrats on your success!0
