When I see the pictures I think they look great, but when I look in the mirror I still see that I have so much more to lose. I only have 21 more lbs. to goal but my mind isn't grasping that yet. When will it?
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.
ditto iv lost 93 lb only about 30 to go i look great in my photos but if i look in the mirror i feel iv got annother 93 lb to go and im not on about loose skin im on about fat . but im sure its just a mental picture i have
good luck

I am way under my goal and I still have a tough time seeing the 'new me'. I have my DH point out others that are my size right now so I can realize how far I have come. I know I look and feel good. But my mind say otherwise. Hang in there I know it takes some time for our minds to catch up. I wish I could tell you a time frame. I'm 27 months out and I am still having trouble. I will be sure to let you know when it changes.
I hate to add the neg comment here..but ..nearly 8 yrs out and I still don't see it but rarely. Therapy is an awesome thing, journaling and taking pictures that you have up so you can see YOU. Mirror time for me each day is a great gift, it really helps me to SEE me better.
You fit so perfectly with your hubby..it's SO cute!
