The mind is a scary, scary thing!

I've been looking at some old pics of myself lately. I have been looking at my old clothing too. I notice little things like having to move my car seat up because I couldn't reach the steering wheel and not having to sit in the big chairs when we go to play bingo. These are all inspiring, but makes me a little sad at the same time. It makes me sad because before losing this weight, I didn't see myself as being as big as I really was. I knew I wasn't a little obese, but I never thought I looked like I weighed 327 pounds. I thought I carried it well. I wish I wouldn't have been so blind to the problem so I could have fixed it years ago! I can't believe I let myself get to that point. Just thought I would not down my little thought for the day! Have a good week everyone!!!

I feel the same way. I see old pictures of me and I barely recognize myself. I can't believe I let myself get that big. I used to see bigger people and I would think to myself...god I would never let myself get that big! Trouble was that I was already that big. Now my problem is that I can't believe I'm as small as I am. When I hold up a pair of my pants my mind can't grasp that those are gonna fit me. Same as when I pass myself in a full length mirror. I get startled at the stranger in the reflection. I. Have a few pictures of my daughter and I standing next to each other, and she is a size five, and I am completely blown away that we are so close to the same size now! It's freaky!!! But wonderful

Yeah. I'm having that same issue. Having to get myself to stay on track because before I did not have the large enough mental picture that yes. I am that big. I am now in the same pant size as my daughter but it's a 12. I'm 8 weeks out so I still have a lot of work to do. Trying to keep the correct mental picture.
