I didn't realise I was fat...my weight loss so far.

I didn't realise I was fat until I lost weight.

No I didn't have loads to lose, but it meant an awful lot to me. I feel so much better in myself. I no longer get drunk and cry because I am the fat friend. I'm not going to show you the picture but there was one picture that deeply upset me. It's me and my 3 friends from work, and I take up half the photo and they take up half the photo. 3 people to 1 person.

So anyway, I lost some weight and I felt much better about myself. And although I still want to get rid of the last 5lbs to get to my goal of 9st, I am not longer ashamed of my body.

    You remind me of me. I was 11 st 7 and I'm trying to get down to 9 st 7 and maybe even less. I have a loooong way to go still, but seeing your progress is encouraging me to keep going.

    I also felt like the fat girl in all my old photos. I'm hoping to start looking like the thin girl in photos soon :wink:

    I'm the opposite. I sit for hours putting the waves in. My hair is as straight as it gets.

    Looking great! I understand the pain of seeing "that picture" but sometimes it's what we need to see to get going. Good stuff!

    You look AMAZING!

    And I can relate about getting drunk and crying because of being the fat friend - that was me, 4 years ago. All my friends were like 120-130, I was nearly 170. I felt horrible about myself.

    I'm so glad you are feeling better about yourself and you look fantastic!!

    You look great! I got a chuckle out of how your knickers got smaller as you got smaller. :happy:
