I struggle with how I see myself in the mirror. I never saw myself being as big as I actually had become, and now that I am losing I am having a hard time seeing the changes from that. The "before "pic is really just earlier in the process and taken in December. I began my preop exercise and diet on 11/23/15. I lost 29lbs on my own before having gastric bypass on 4/4. I am down 40lbs now. At my heaviest I was 274, in the before pictures I was likely around 261. I currently am 235.

At first I didn't really notice the difference but I am now starting to the more I look at it. It may not be much, but it is the least I have weighed in 3 years, when I got down to 223 before getting pregnant.

I am very glad I have started down this path, and I am very excited to see what my future holds!

Keep up the good work! I am in the same boat as you, in relation to not seeing or recognizing the difference(s). I have never in my life considered myself skinny and the other day I was in the locker room (with a good friend) and she said omg, I just seen your ribs, have you ever seen them? I knew what she meant, but it was funny how it came out. So, I then explained to her that yes, I can see my collarbone, when I lay down I can see my hip bones and ribs and NO, I have never been able to see any of those things in the past.....EVER! It takes time to adjust to the new you, that's for sure!
