I can understand the overwhelmed feeling. I've been obese my entire life. The last time i was this weight i was in Jr high. Mind you i was about 2 to 3 inches shorter and 210lbs (im 5'2). So yeah. To think I'll be under 200 for the first time since high-school and get even smaller is a bit crazy to me. I even find myself self sabotaging because the idea that I'm going to look like a different person is so scary.

I've never been good with change. It takes me so long to adjust to anything. My family keeps telling my how much weight ive lost and how small im getting and its a lot to take in. Im not used to a lot of attention so it's hard to accept. It's just something we will have to take a day at a time. Im trying to get into the habit of taking pictures so i can see the changes. Im also going to talk to a professional. It's hard making changes but over time I'm sure it'll get easier dealing with it all. Sorry for the story. Just wanted you to know you're not alone. ????
