so my journey begun sometime ago, however only really properly started counting cals etc on january 14th.

To date i have lost 43lbs(3st 1lbs) in roughly 4 months, my current weight now being 15 stone 12lbs(222lbs) down from 18st 13lbs(265lbs) .

Even though people around me say "oh you have lost loads" "dont lose anymore" etc i wont be happy until i reach 13/14 stone range.

I look in the mirror and still see a fat man looking back at me, i hope that once i reach my goal weight, i do not still have the same problem be it mentally and physically

    I used to weigh 119 and thought I was overweight. Its a mental thing. dysphoria Maybe? Its hard getting used to being health and thin when you've been overweight your entire life

    I know i have lost the weight due to having to buy smaller clothing , but that doubt and fear is always there.

    I weigh my self everyday just to make sure that i stay on course weigh everything scan everything i guess its the mental obstical that ill have to overcome.

    I guess weight loss is not just about the physical weight but also the mental weight as well.
