    Coping with Body Image

    So i am having difficulties with body image and not adjusting the way i see myself. I find that i am getting more attention than before and people get mad when i have troubles accepting compliments or viewing myself as "pretty". Do you guys have issues with always thinking of yourself as the old you? I am nervous around new people because of the way people used to treat me. And if someone "likes" me i second guess myself constantly because i am even more shy now compared to before surgery. But i guess i have to remember that people who meet me now don't know the old abby, just the current. Even when shopping i find myself looking for the plus sized section all the time even though i'm and L-XL. It's weird. Does this go away?
  3. Donating Clothes to charity has helped me see just how much i have lost... trying on old pants over the pants i already have on and still having room feels amazing!

      I know how you feel. I went through my closet Sunday and got rid of 4 huge bags full of clothes that we're too big. It was cathartic and very symbolic. I drove away knowing that part of my life was over and it was time to forgive myself and move on to the next stage in this journey.

    It must feel great to have accomplished so much! Congrats on the success!
  8. Self image is a tricky thing. How are you supposed to suddenly feel good about yourself when all these years it has been the opposite?

      It takes a long time for your head to catch up to your new body. Last time I dropped 90 pounds, it took a couple of years for my head to see the new me.

  12. Need to tone! my best advice is lift weights while you lose or you will end up like me and have to play catch up. flab is no fun :(

      I lifted weights from the beginning, and I'm saggy anyway. That's just what happens.. But I'll take this flab over all that fat any day. ;)

      well, i will take flab over all the fat too! lol! it's weird to be in a regular size range and not a plus size.
