| Super Moderator | Wow, you look great. And, sure, you look just like you should...a size 4. Go out, take a pic of a size 10 or 8 somebody, and you'll be sure to see the difference. However, you brain will take another couple of years to adjust. After all, you were in a size what? a year ago...it won't be easy for your brain to adjust to close-enough-to-half the former youin just one year. You see, we are so wired that the figure that is captured by our eyes are intepreted by our brains and adjusted for registering as images--when our brains are doing the interpretation, it is going to bring in a lot of variable factors, such as what we think we look like, what we think we SHOULD look like, and merges that into the actual image. That ends up with the image we think we are seeing is in truth different from the *true* image. That's why a lot of you keep seeing the *before* you in the mirror, when everybody else, even other post ops who have the same trouble you do with seeing themselves as they truly are post op, can see you in your true size. Yeah, kinda convoluted and complicated, but that's how it is.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Hi Kenya - One thing I notice is that when I wear clothes that just fit, I feel bigger (example: muffing top) than I do when I wear something that is comfy to a little bit big, I feel tiny. It's def all mind games! You look fab as always ~ havent been online much lately, DS is getting ready to graduate and DD has a new BF so they're keeping me plenty busy ~ hope your job is going well. Is Kayla looking forward to summer? Take care! |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Im gonna be honest ok........I have no idea what 138 lbs looks like. LOL. I dont ask what people weigh I havnt weighed 138 lbs since i was in 7th grade at the same height I am now. You look wonderful girl. I will never be as small as you are now. If your like myself I still cant comprehend im smaller than I was. I was passing through a sliding glass door the other day and it was really hard to open. I kept trying to get it open further......my brother said geesh Vickie you can make it fine just go though it. I DID! Still it seems impossible. I hope this passes for you so you can see yourself like you really are. BTW I love the look on your face in your picture. You have always kept a good record of yourself Kenya unlike myself so mabye its time for you to go back and look to see how far you have come. |
