I'm so sorry but with each new photo . . . . . . .

First off you look amazing! I can totally relate. Our mind has to catch up to our bodys new image. Taking photos is a good way to help overcome this feeling.

I sometimes have that same feeling. You look great though! Most people don't see us naked...and if we saw others that we admired...we might not think they're so hot naked either...LOL

You look good! Only very few people look truly good naked, in a picturesque sense. The rest of us just only get nakie in front of people that know of our journey. I look better naked than I did, but I do get a bit bummed over the deflated-balloon effect at time. Just try to shrug it off and love your body.

i TOTALLY agree. Most of us don't think we look as good naked as we do in clothes. Heck, even supermodel photos are retouched because they don't look perfect, so don't feel bad. To us, who see you dressed, you lot HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You should be so proud. It's hard to lose 91 lbs. Enjoy what you have worked so hard to gain.

wow you look awesome! and to be honest, do you ever wonder how many 'skinny' girls feel and look the same naked and just never admit? You're not alone!! When I was skinny, i was always self conscious because I have a weird tan/white spot on my stomach. When I was little, I got a bad sunburn on my belly and it just stays white now, no matter what. I hated it. And I have huge birthmarks. I don't think anyone ever fully feels confident in their bodies. I think being fat for me, is a kind of 'good' excuse to not pay notice to these things. Once I get the weight off, I'll have those things plus the saggy skin and still have my momma pouch too i'm sure. But seriously, you look great

you look good. be happy!!!

i think i look better with clothes on too. its a good thing society requires us to be attired in public!

you look great! we are only naked 2% of the time. Do not let it take up 90% of your thoughts.

Yes, this, exactly. Your body is such an amazing machine. Apparently, it helped with the creation of 2 actual humans! Wow! It's not going to be a teenager's body, but the average teenager has done NOTHING inspiring. You've fallen in love, created life, dropped almost a hundred pounds, you're beautiful and AMAZING! Stare at that nakedness and be inspired and driven and amazed by the battlescars that come from real life...Most of us are some type of Velveteen rabbit in the end...it's good to be well loved, and lovable...and it makes us sexy in spite of stretch marks, stretchy skin, and sagging breastages...Seriously, that's what clothes and love are for!

All I can say is you are totally awsome. You've done an amazing job on you, be proud.

Well you look amazing to me! You look like a completely different person, much healthier and you should be very happy. You must remember, you didn't get that size overnight and you won't fix it overnight. Water and toning exercises will help with your skin. They make pushups for the boobies and normaly, people wear clothes so, shouldn't be many people that see you naked! Be proud of you and what you have accomplished. Good luck with the rest of your journey!

You look great. Keep up the good work and try not to dispair.

You're not alone, I can look at pictures and see the dame thing. But when I'm naked I have the same issues.

I hope that when I reach my goal weight, I look half as good as you do. You look amazing!!!

Yes. I can completely relate. And I'm only half way done! I guess maybe it takes time. I guess.

But with clothes on you are beautiful! You look so healthy and happy and together! You look like you are full of positive energy! Maybe it is an act, but I bet you aren't being fake at all. You just have to grow into the new person than you are! You are in the middle of a transformation.

It reminds me of when midwives talk about the "forth trimester" and how after the baby is born, there is still radical transformation and rapid development going on, but because the baby is here we tend to think the pregnancy is over. Things are rarely that cut and dry.

You still have a strong connection to the person you used to be and are growing in a different direction. You'll get there. And I suspect that how you feel about your body, naked, will evolve, too.

I once heard Ali Vincent (the biggest loser) say that she now considers every stretch mark and every flab of lose skin to be a battle scar that she is proud of because it is evidence that she is strong and survivor. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO FEEL THAT WAY!

Things that challenge us, change us. But they don't often happen all at once.

I think the mental battle is harder than the physical/food battles we fight to get healthier. We find it hard to see our progress. The only advice I can give you is to keep up your strength training. My trainer and doctor say it is so important.

Be kinder to yourself. You look awesome. You've come a long way.

First of all, you look PHENOMENAL! Gigantic kudos to all your hard work!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But honestly, I feel the same way often. I've lost around 75, went from a DDD to a C cup (at best) and hate my tummy with a fiery passion! I am in the same boat dear! :ohwell:

. . . . . I see the picture of me and I feel slim and sexy and amazing and then I just think its a lie . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .


IF only they saw me naked!!!!!!! does anyone else feel like this??? Its really knocking my self confidence!

EVERYONE feels like this. We all have something about our body that we hate. Weight gain and loss is not nice to our skin. Pregnancy is not nice to our skin. Most of us have to work really hard to stay fit and attractive.
I have a good friend who is a size 6 or 8 at 6 feet tall. She looks like a movie star (literally)...and she won't wear sandals because she hates her feet. The strange thing is that her feet are just fine...just like your body is just fine. :flowerforyou:
