I still feel "fat"!

[aubrie 6]

I'm with FairyFacade. I never really saw myself as big as I really was. If I looked in the mirror, I looked a little overweight. But when I saw photographs of myself I was horrified!! Why the difference? It always confused me. Now I think I'm bigger than I am. I had some old size 18 clothes in my closet. I put off trying them on, as I thought I had a ways to go yet before they would fit. I went through them over the weekend (finally) and many of them are already to big. I missed out wearing them entirely!! I totally misjudged the reality of my size.

I know what you mean. I am nowhere close to what you weigh yet, but I have lost almost 70 pounds. However, when I look in the mirror (especially with no clothes on), I don't see a difference. Sometimes, with clothes on, I notice that my boobs stick out WAY more than my stomach (haven't lost much of THEM), but, other than that, I can't see a difference.

But, when I look at pictures, I can see a difference. I guess it's all perspective! Congrats on your weight loss! I can't wait to catch up with you!

I had some suits for work that I had totally grown out of (I was too large for them). I never tried them on--I think I thought they would still be too tight and that would totally discourage me--so as you say, they are now almost too big--I've got to hurry up and wear them!!

The funniest thing that happened to me was that when I went to get off the leg press at the YMCA, the pocket to my pants caught on a handle and when I walked away, my pants started coming down and I barely :thumbup: knew it! I knew right then I had to find other pants to wear to the gym! (Guess you had to be there!) :crying:

And yeah, Jennie, what's up with not losing weight up top?? I thought you were supposed to lose weight in your face and then your chest?? NOT!!
