laney 172 Posted September 18, 2017 My husband says I look sickly in the face and lost to much weight. My highest weight was 291. When I started my journey I was 263. SW 249 now today I am 180. Dr says I lost 82 pounds since I stepped into her office and I am looking good. I was looking to loose another 15 pounds, but today someone else said I look sickly. I thought I looked good. Now concerned about loosing another pound. I ate a cupcake when I got home. I wanted to cry 2 nikkiyellz and Muppetpunk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apple1 2,572 Posted September 18, 2017 I don't think you look sickly at all. You have not reached a normal BMI yet for your height so I would keep on losing if that's what you want to do. Dont let others opinions dictate what you do. People get used to seeing us overweight and they don't know what a healthy weight looks like. 7 Muppetpunk, laney, ProudGrammy and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PrayingForWeightLoss 337 Posted September 18, 2017 We never win with people's opinions. When we are overweight we are called names, when we lose weight we are called names. You look beautiful and keep losing if that is your goal. As long as your doctor says you are within healthy limits, keep losing. I can only see a gorgeous human in this picture. 6 ProudGrammy, southernbellair79, Shawn37 and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joann454 1,329 Posted September 18, 2017 You do not look sickly. I had the same comments from some people back in 2001 when I lost a ton of weight on Atkins. He's used to seeing your face a certain way. Sickly is being 100lbs overweight! Good job! 6 Muppetpunk, Nancy MBGC, ZinNH and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if it's an overweight and unhealthy way, that's is how they're used to seeing us. Just like our brains have to catch up to our eyes, theirs do too. And sadly, our faces lose more fat than we'd like . There are always dermal fillers if you felt that way! 2 ZinNH and southernbellair79 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allie589 171 Posted September 18, 2017 I think you look amazing!!!! Omg! You must feel so good too!! When my aunt lost 60lbs on Jenny Craig, she looked sickly to me but more in a Vitamin deficient/full of artificial stuff and chemicals kind of way. She lacked color in her skin. You look vibrate and have color in your cheeks. And try not to shame yourself about the cupcake. Instead focus on how good it tasted and how awesome it is you only had one!! You look amazing!

Missy161 395 Posted September 19, 2017 You do not look sickly- like the first response said- people get used to you heavy and will get used to you thin!

NewShauna 49 Posted September 19, 2017 I think you look great. At the end of the day you have to get to the weight that makes you HAPPY and HEALTHY because nobody knows exactly how your body feels but you when you are having issues caused by being overweight. Keep doing what you are doing. Hopefully your husband will realize how important it is for you to reach your goal.
