just not seeing it



Recommended Posts

so today is my weigh day and I hit my half way mark! not too bad 55 lbs in 3.5 months, but today I am not seeing a difference. I mean don't get me wrong, there are days I put on clothes and weep b/c a) it was a favorite piece of clothing and it doesn't fit anymore and then later :P OH MY GOD IT'S WORKING!!!!. But today I don't see it. I guess I'm just discouraged because I thought at my half way point I'd really see it. maybe I'm having a bad image day, I dunno... But does anyone else have this problem? the scale shows it but your eyes can't adjust? I guess I just want to know I'm not crazy!!!!! Sorry for rambling.

I think it's pretty safe to say that this happens to all of us. :phanvan It takes awhile for the head to take in what the eyes are seeing. I am at goal but there are days when I think I have gained it all back again and only by pulling on a pair of size 10 pants and having them fit without getting a muffin top do I know that, yep, I really have lost a bunch of weight. :straight

Cheer up, it seems that the head has an even harder time losing weight than the body does....! :P Weird, eh? :bounce:

I get like that most days...I mean if you read my stats..down from a 24-to a 10..thats alot of weight..but I dont see it, and I get upset when people call me skinny..becauseI am still as fat as I ever was, and it doesnt seem that the things you do notice, the way your thighs dont converge and explode over the side of the chair when you sit, or that you might actually have a hip bone... they dont seem to add up to it as much...When I get to feeling like this, I take out a shirt I used tow ear at least once a week..and put it on..my shoulder goes through the neck hole on one side...this helps..but remember, you see yourself everyday, so changes are gradual..and while you cant see past that fat roll you still have, everyone notices that roll used to be three!

Enjoy the ride girl. Every day you should love your body no matter what. Remember how it was when you were fatter? Remember the clothing size you wore? You should be very proud of yourself. It took me over year to lose 65 lbs. 55 lbs if fabulous. Enjoy it!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
