I have lost 60lbs so far and plan to lose another 10-15lbs. I see the difference in pictures but I still feel like the overweight me. I went to buy new clothes and had to return them because I got them too big. When people compliment me, I dont how to react and think, theyre just trying to be nice and maybe will laugh behind my back when I turn away. I see other people the same weight as me and think why dont I look that skinny? I cringe whenever my boyfriend watches me change clothes and tries to give me postive feedback. Like how are you going to think I look good, when your celebrity crush is Megan Fox?! Trust me, Im so in love with food that starving myself isnt an option lol and I know I worked very hard then to throw my accomplishments out the window. Just wish my mind isnt so negative and critical to my body. Im my own worst judge. Anyone else going through this?

    Just popping in but yes to all those questions. Some days I feel ok but most i still feel very obese and really don"t take a compliment very well at all

    Yes, very much... I'm repeatedly told of how slim I've gotten and everything. But I have body fat to shed and the existence of it just makes me feel so..... fat. I'm less than what was my ideal weight a year ago yet I'm not pleased. I don't think I'll ever be pleased unless I look very toned and have no hanging body fat. :/ not confident at all.

    yes !!!! its constantly on my mind ive lost 30 pounds im 5'2 132 latina gal so im pretty curvy i know ill never be completly skiny and im ok with that but constly im thinking gotta hit goal is not enough im still fat im still fat i feel insecure all the time i dnt wanna be the fat girl again ! but yeah its ur mind!!! messing with u i mean 7 pounds till goal 7 pounds is really not gonna be a hugeeee diference from where i am now so why do i makeit seem like its a huge thing?! cuz weve been insecure for along time weve become obssess so many ppl compliment me and ( not braggin) guys hit on me and i simply just cant accept the fact that they like me!! who me?! u sure?! im worried that when i finally hit goal ill want more or ill pick up something else to be deppressed about... so no ur not the only one ! we need to work on our selfesteem but also take in consideration that its normal to feel insecure sometimes but the thing is not to let it have a big affect in our lives! ( plus society is fck up ) they make us believe we have to be a certain way to be beautifull its just not real!!!
