still feel "fat"

[tippy715 24]

Anyone else still have in their mind that they are fat? Ive lost over 100 pounds. Weighing 183 for the first time since high school and still see myself they way I was before surgery.

I've lost close to 100 lbs and wear an 8. To me I haven't changed a bit. I went from a 22 to an 8 and I just don't see it. I'm still self consience. I still need to lose a little over 20 lbs and I'm sure ill still see myself as "fat". At 5't' and 130 I know in my head that's not fat but can't see myself any differently.

Hope that changes over time. I do use the terms "bck when I was fat" a lot, I guess meaning that's my history, but still feel fat

I am also close to 100 pounds lost and in a size 8. From a screaming 18 (I refused to go bigger even if it looked too tight lol) to an 8 is almost like a dream. It cant be ME right?

You said "I do use the terms "back when I was fat" a lot", I say "when I was fatter" because I struggle with admitting that Im thin. I mean thin people wear size 8 pants right? I still see the fat girl in the mirror or when I shop in the junior section I feel like people think I dont belong there.

Im sure Ill get used to it, Ive gotten used to everything else (eating, drinking, etc.).

I can relate, and get upset when people tell me I am too skinny. I still want to shop In the plus size stores. I also have lost 100lbs and went from a 20 to a size 8

I maintained a 100 lb weight loss for 5 years with my Lapband and I'm sorry to tell you part of it never really goes away ill always be the fat girl on the inside... It gets better but part of it seems to stick around ..

I look in the mirror and only see a fat person staring back at me. Fed up and pissed off with it all.
