They said "weight just fell off me" what does that mean really?

Let's put in in perspective.

It took me A YEAR to lose what you've lost so far.

No, the weight didn't fall off. Far from it. But I could give a sh*t. I'm now at goal and maintaining, like Ann said. The actual weight loss is just a blip on the radar. Maintenence is the rest of our lives.

Someone the other day asked me how much I'd lost before I dropped a size. I couldn't even remember, it's been so long ago. At least it SEEMS so long ago. Just doesn't matter anymore.

Perspective.

That is a really great way of looking a it! Thank you! Going through the process is mentally taxing I think. Once I get to maintenance it won't matter anymore and all the concern I have now won't matter anyway. It is all perspective. Thank you, I need to practice that for sure. Lol I get caught up in the " I should be here, or feeling like i should look a certain way now" that it causes me to lose perspective. Thank you

Im 3 months post op and only lost 20 pounds, people that I know that had the surgery before me, say things like wow you only lost 20 pounds, thats only a little bit etc etc, I look at it like 20 pounds as a lost , I rather 20 off then on , the words of others hurt me most of all, I don't know if I'll ever be one of those people, that the weight just falls off but I will be one of those people, that will believe in me and all of us that we can and will accomplish are weight loss goals
