I'm sorry to keep loading down the forum with posts. LOL But I think I'm losing it. I took some pics of myself earlier today for a project I'm taking part in. I just got back from taking my car in for service. I saw the pics and it does NOT look like me. Is that seriously me??? It looks like somebody pasted my head on someone else's body and made my face thinner, to boot.

I'm truly beginning to understand body dysmorphia. I haven't even lost that much since my last pics and yet there's a HUGE difference. I'm almost scared to make goal. :)

Well I tried to find a smiley face that looked like he was whistling at ya, but there doesn't seem to be one. You look excellent though, be happy!

Your face has lost the weight VERY well, you look like you never looked any different. I'm so jealous....

I guess I was just delusional, but when I was really heavy seeing myself would startle me - I just didn't feel that heavy. I recognize myself better now that I'm losing it. Weird, I know : /

Scarecrow, I understand exactly what you are saying. I was "never as big " as I actually was. I would see me still at 250-260, not over 300. Now I see the actual me when I look. Pictures help me keep a dose of reality about what I do look like. I think it is more common than either you or I may think. Anyone else reading this with this thinking?

LOL Steph I bet we can all identify with you. Recently, I was looking at some pictures that my DH took. I couldn't figure out who the woman was in the picture, and why in the world he would be taking a picture of another woman's backside. LOL I asked him who it was and he starte laughing. It was me. LOL

      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.
