today i felt too skinny.



Recommended Posts

as you know i've been having a running commentary on this "too skinny" thing. at first when people started saying that shit to me, i was like screw you. im not too skinny you're just used to seeing me fat! but that was at 160, 150 etc. but today i took a pic and **I** actually felt like i looked too skinny. and i don't know why cuz i felt amazing all weekend. <_<

now i know clothes make a diff and i'm wearing sized 10 pants today cuz clothes are expensive tho i wear a size 7/8. to that end i kept thinking once i get to size 6 im done that's wear i wanna be. and someone said to me umm you need to order that size 6 cuz i think you're there you just don't have the clothes. so i did today. i ordered the size 6 slack and i'll report back on the 14th if they fit or what.

size is so weird. weight is so weird. at 145, and 5'3 my bmi is actually still in the "over weight" range!! by point four. smh. it says i'd have to weigh 141 to be "normal" smh. #thestruggleisreal #fatbrain

You're not skinny. You look like a small framed person with a tiny waste who is healthy.

It took me until recently ( 2 years out) to finally accept where I'm at and stop with the mind games and just enjoy feeling and looking fabulous. I hope you get there soon, too.

@@Babbs said is right. You look like a healthy person with a defined waist.

Maybe see a therapist?

I agree with the others- you look healthy, and you have a great hourglass shape.

I would say that I wished I felt like I was too skinny, lol, but I'm pretty sure that's never going to happen. Most days I look in the mirror and I think I look good, bordering on darn good at times, although there are times where I see myself in a picture or catch myself in a reflection and I think...ok, maybe I need to get an extra workout in this week. I think most people struggle with body acceptance- not just those of us who have lost a lot of weight.

thank you ladies. this is CRAZY i never thought i would be having this conversation. I think working in a place like i do (there are 2000 people here) so when 20 a day say you're so thin etc and i'm like f you you don't know. until today. today i thought well maybe i am too thin, but i literally have stayed at 145-146 for the last month so if i am today i've been for a month right?? (too thin) ugh. i think you guys are right. its going to take time for my brain to catch up to this.....maybe therapy isn't a bad idea at all. -_-

@@AvaFern whoa! 126 sounds tiny (and awesome) for our height. lets see it! :)

You're beautiful. Maybe the numbers are no longer the right guide. Trust your intuition, and how you feel in your body.

      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.
