Fab website ... How do you see yourself?



Recommended Posts

I just found this website on Pintrest & think It's pretty awesome, It allows you to put in your height, weight, body type, shirt and pant sizes and it gives you actual pictures of REAL women who share your same numbers...

http://www.mybodygallery.com/index.html

before I always wondered how "big" I really was and would look at other women and wonder if they wore the same size as me... It's weird how different I saw myself in the mirror vs. pictures for example. Now, I am post surgery and while I know I am losing weight and people point it out all the time, it's harder for me to see when I look in mirror, I found this site to be eye opening for me...

Hope someone finds this helpful ;)

Funny they don't have any matches fit my body type

Yeah, I've been to websites like this before, I've played around with it, putting in my real numbers, putting in my dream numbers. The depressing part is when I put in really thin numbers and see the photos, and they just look average/normal. It makes me feel like my road just got extended by a thousand miles :(

Modelmydiet.com is pretty cool too. It's not real people but it's fun to play around with

Someone told me about this site recently and I think its awesome. I also encourage everyone to load their own photos so others can see.

That sucks, they didn't have any exact matches for me (apparently I am not as large around the middle as most women my weight because their pants sizes were far too large for me even though we share the same weight) but what we can do is ball park it and upload our own so people can see even more variations!

I had to get my husband to look with me as I just could not believe that the women in the pictures, my height, weight and body shape, looked anything like me. He confirmed that they did and found a couple of specific ones he thought were my body exactly. Freaked me out to be honest. Those women looked great.

It shows me just how far I still have to go in the 'head' journey.

Thank you for sharing.

Less info you put in to search with , the better chance of matches coming back. I had to list just height and weight to get matches.

Thanks for posting this. It is a good tool. I have a problem opposite from anorexics. When I look at my self front on (most of the time), I still see that 115 lb 21 year old. It's only when I look at the side that reality sets in! Ha!

FYI, I didn't notice the shape option at first. When I selected that, I didn't get any results. For those of you who didn't get results--try not picking a shape.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
