Didn't notice my weight loss



Recommended Posts

I've been getting lots of compliments on how I look now and how I'm doing a great job on my weight loss but I haven't noticed it. The other day I decided to take some side by side photos and it wasn't until then that I noticed it. Just wondering do anyone else feel the same way?!!!IMG_0239.thumb.JPG.5b1270ddcc3046bc96a7129c5005ca78.JPG IMG_0241.thumb.JPG.b827e08a2d45ee2a54d266a5f496ea44.JPG

I'm glad that you noticed! You know, I do believe that sometimes we are our own worst critic.

Keep up the awesome work!

You look great! I can't tell I've lost 30 lbs but my husband says he can see it.

You are doing great! I know what you mean though. Though my clothes were looser I didn't REALLY notice either. Now, I am stopping to examine everything so I can be more present in the journey and Celebrate my successes.

Keep up the good work. Many times, we are the last ones to notice. I think perhaps it's because we constantly adjust the way we think we look.

Great job! You look great! I could kinda tell for myself there were changes but i couldn't see how big they were until my boyfriend made a side by side for me and sent it in a text and said "next time you feel discouraged or like there hasn't been any change, just look at this picture. You've come a long way." He always tells me how proud he is of me and how great i look. It's really helped my confidence. It's also reassuring because other people keep commenting on my weight-loss. It's weird because i still barely feel or see myself as much different either but we see ourselves every day. Just keep doing what you're doing and you'll see the results yourself soon too and it'll only motivate you. Keep up the great work hun!

You're an inspiration!!! Thanks for posting the pics. I can never see my loss and don't feel like I look much different....but know my clothes fit much better. That's a start ;-)

You look great. I feel the same as you. I still feel bigger and when I see myself in a mirror I just stare because I don't recognize the person looking back at me.

Thanks!! I think we all have that problem where we just don't see ourselves as others do!! Keep going and I'm sure you'll notice it too

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
