Looking Ahead 239 Posted November 24, 2012 Tomorrow I turn 42. In April of this year, I weighed my highest ever .... 338. I decided to have the surgery and thought it was my absolute last chance at a "normal" life. I'm down to 228 this morning. 110 pounds gone - forever. Even though I'm down this much and my self esteem is alot higher, I still feel like the fat person I started out as. I still don't want my husband to see my naked. I knew I'd have loose skin but its still filled with fat. I have no idea where I want to be. I know I want to get to at least 170 , maybe 150. I'm 5,8. Med/large build. I hardly eat anything now and worry about stopping the weightloss if I do reach some sort of goal for myself. My surgery was June 25th. Has anyone else gone through this? I have noticed that I went from a men's 2x-3x sweats to a mens large today when I bought some. I should be ecstatic about this but something says don't get too excited just yet.

Looking Ahead 239 Posted November 24, 2012 Why men's???Go check out the ladies sweats! Oh, and 100? Amazing. The men's sweats have smaller legs. I should have gotten a Medium. The shirts are longer too. Wearing them today. Oh and I get to change the ticker again this morning...another pound gone ! 1 BabyHuey reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Threetimesacharm 1,400 Posted November 24, 2012 You should be so proud of what you have accomplished, I am! Now as far as having fat goes, it is great that you have more fat than loose skin, this is good as your body is adjusting well. Really check out the ladies section of casual pants, even Walmart has some great sport pants(danskin) and yes they have slimmer legs, all the rage these days! Take out some older clothes and try them on you will see how far you have come, woohoo great job keep going!! 1 Looking Ahead reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
