  • Same here...went from 217 to 140 and yeah still have that complex....I still grab the largest sizes in the stores when I go shopping...then I realize that I am actually a small-medium but when I hold up those smalls and mediums first thought is 'that will NOT fit'. It's been over a year...I thought that I would be over that by now :/

    It's not just females that have this problem. My hubby is down 150 lbs and still thinks he is the same 400+ lb guy. It's hard. It's also a mental thing. If you find yourself wanting to continue to lose weight when you're clearly in the healthy range then I think you should talk to a professional about that. It's easy to spiral down into an eating disorder.
