Default A Wow For Me

TODAY I WAS AT CVS AND I KNOW THE PHARMICIST BECAUSE WHEN I WAS PREGNANT I WAS THERE LIKE EVERY OTHER DAY ESP FOR MY INSULIN. SO SINCE I HAD THE BABY ME AND HER ARE ALWAYS YAPPING. WELL TODAY WE WERE TALKING ABOUT BOTH OF US BECAUSE SHE HAD NOTICED I LOST WT AND I ALSO NOTICED SHE LOST WT. SHE HAS LOST 80 LBS THRU WT WATCHERS WHICH I THOUGHT WAS A REAL WOW FOR HER!!! THEN SHE SAYS TO ME OH SO YOU MUST BE DONE LOSING WT. I SAID NO WAY I STILL HAVE A WHILE TO GO. SHE SAID, HAVE YOU LOOKED IN THE MIRROR LATELY??? YOU ARE PRETTY SMALL NOW IF YOU LOSE ALOT MORE YOU WILL DISAPPEAR. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT THIS WK. THIS IS SO WEIRD FOR ME TO HEAR THAT IM SMALL. LOL LOL. ME SMALL?!?!? I HAVE NEVER HEARD THAT IN MY LIFE BEFORE. ALL MY LIFE I HAVE ALWAYS GONE UP AND DOWN. ITS STILL UNBELIABLE TO ME THAT PEOPLE COULD LOOK AT ME AS SMALL

ALSO AS I WROTE IN MY 6 MONTHS OUT THREAD I HAVE FINALLY OPENED MY EYES AND CAN REALLY NOTICE I HAVE LOST WT. BUT ITS WEIRD BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE I HAVE BEEN SLEEPING FOR 6 MONTHS BECAUSE WHEN I LOOK IN THE MIRROR I DONT EXPECT TO SEE WHAT IM LOOKING AT I STILL EXPECT TO SEE THE OLD ME OR CLOSE TO IT. SO EACH DAY WHEN I LOOK IN THE MIRROR IM LIKE WOW THATS ME. ITS SOOO HARD TO EXPLAIN. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A DREAM AND IM GOING TO WAKE UP ONE DAY AND LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND SEE THE OLD ME. ITS STILL UNBELIEVABLE. I GUESS THATS WHY MY OTHER THREAD WAS TITLED "IN A BLINK OF AN EYE". IT REALLY HAS HAPPENED SO FAST THAT MY BRAIN HASNT CAUGHT UP TO THIS YET. SEEMS LIKE OVERNITE I JUST LOST A TON OF WT.
AND IF THIS IS A DREAM PLEASE DONT WAKE ME UP

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
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.

That's why i still do what I call "mirror time" I still expect when I look in the mirror to see that hugely obese person in the reflection ...it's still surprising.

it's not made that weird part of my head space any easier with the settled out weight being a more normal size than the 'you're so tiny' one which I loved hearing!!! So I feel fat..I look at the before/after and have to say that is much healthier looking than the even smaller size I was at my lowest during this journey.

Isn't it weird...? I went shopping with my daughter and was looking at clothes, thinking "those won't fit".....when IN REALITY...they all will! It's the mentality thing...we were heavy for so long and you find ways to cope....and it's hard re-learning everything!

Congrats, you're doing great.
The mental adjusting takes quite a while, but no, it's not a dream, never fear. Just keep eating healthy, and you'll do fine.

What a great compliment! I am constantly asking my husband or someone Do I lioook like that lady? It is hard to judge my size. A co-worker said she didn't recognize me from behind, I was so happy to hear that! And to go to a store and but a normal size.... Body image, body image.....

Yeah, the whole body image thing is wild. I still look for my fat rolls on my back. I will try on a shirt and think it's too fitted but when I try it on, it's fine. I still have a good bit of morphing to do shape wise. My shape is still very similar to my overweight shape, just not as large. I am frequently surprised at my shadow or my reflection when I happen to notice them, not really looking.

Boots - we need new pix
