Having a hard time noticing my loss...

Wow, your brain is really lagging behind your progress. It's not only noticable - you look like a different person and a lot younger. They say it can take a year for your brain to "see" your progress. Take it from me - your brain is behind the times. Good job!

I have been at my weight loss journey now for a little over 5 1/2 months and the scale was moving great and now its at a stand still and I am having a hard time noticing what I have done so I thought I would share a before an after pic and I hope you guys can tell a difference. This journey as been a very emotional journey for me to find who I am I feel like I should look better after losing 50# and I have 30# more pounds to lose just seems out of reach! Thanks for listening to my story...

You seriously cannot see a difference?

You look amazing! Can you not even see it in your arms? Look how tiny they are compared to your before picture.

I see a huge difference in your before and after . I think it just your brain taking a while to play catch up.. I personally feel like I cant see a change in myself sometimes and then i put back on the pants I wore when i was heavy and then i see the difference.

Not sure of your whole story - but I spent most of my life being a little chubby. Not necessarily even overweight - just soft. Even thin - which I have been a couple times in my adult life - I don't see it. I still see that layer of fat. I think when some of us lose weight we have reverse beer goggles.

Especially if your insurance covers it, I might recommend some therapy sessions. The right therapist can really help with body image issues and help you see yourself as you really are. If I can get close to my goal weight, I will definitely think about it myself. I think it is too easy to get discouraged when you still feel like the same overweight person - even after you changed your life.

If you don't feel like therapy, then try some positive thinking at home. When you look in the mirror - instead of staying the negative things you probably think - make yourself say something nice. Does a shirt fit better than before? Do your eyes look bigger or brighter? How about your legs in a new pair of heels? Try at least one nice thing every day. Even if you don't believe it at first, your brain will start to catch on eventually. You are looking and feeling great!

I'm definitely seeing what you're not seeing! Your body and face are completely transformed. You not only look slim, but you look much younger and healthier. Take another look at your photos, cover your face and pretend it's someone else's body. Now what do you see?

You look amazing! Gr8 job.:flowerforyou:

You are so beautiful!! Great work!! You should be so proud!! Congrats!!

You look great! The difference is extremely noticeable! Good job!

a huge noticeable difference. your face and upper body. you have done a fantastic transformation. keep going.

You look awesome, congrats!!!

Look at that tiny waist! You look gorgeous, lady!

Also, there is quite a noticeable difference from your before photo. You look thinner, younger, and happier!

You may have stalled a little bit, but continuing your good habits and pushing yourself physically when you get the opportunities, you WILL get there And every stall along the way you will still be closer than when you started!

Plus, what I find helpful when I get frustrated with slow progress is to think about the behaviours and not the results: Is there a merit to being physically active and eating less with better foods outside of weight loss? Yes. I will be healthier, stronger, have more energy and be less at risk for a myriad of diseases. Reason enough to continue right there.

Also, when I get frustrated, I think about what my alternatives are. Will eating more, eating junk more frequently, or working out less often accomplish anything good for me? Nope. So what's the question then? Do I continue? Yes. So then I start thinking "what can I change about my attitude or outlook to keep me encouraged rather than discouraged?" I'm going to do this regardless. Might as well be proud of my accomplishments and take joy in the little changes/discoveries rather than letting the obstacles ahead of me or my pace get me down.

wow absolutly incredible transformation! you look stunning. the weightloss is very noticable; both in your body and in the confidence you exude! keep up the amazing work! x

WOW seriously you can't tell!!!! OMG I thought I suffered from body dysmorphia! lol. You look amazing and SO much smaller than you were, probably 1/3 less of your former self!

Good luck with the rest of your journey. x

Honey, Your beautiful
Sometimes the eyes are blind to our own progress, take off those fat glasses and see how much you've changed!
