Anybody else look in the mirror and still see a very overweight person? I've lost 110 pounds, am at a healthy weight, my friends, family, and the doctor says I've done great, but I look in the mirror and see someone overweight. All I can think is that I need to keep losing but I can't seem to lose any more now. Has anybody else felt this way about their body image?

Sleevie Wonder!

I call mine Sleevilla -- she's half super hero, half villain. She did great things for me, but good golly if I cross her...
A friend of mine calls her's Sleevie Wonder. HA!

Thank you everyone for y'all's kind words! I'm thinking of getting some counseling for the issue. I really want to enjoy my new body as much as possible.

I'm not 15 months out and I would say by about 8 months or so I started to get into the groove of my "new normal" and now I can't imagine my life any other way. I love this strange new wonderful normal!

I'm starting the 5 day pouch test tomorrow. Anybody have any tips or suggestions that has done it?

I did make it through all 5 days and I did lose a couple pounds. I'm at 165 and a size 6 right now. When I started the test I was about 167 and I dropped to 163. But I'm sticking now at about 165 so I'm trying to cut carbs out to lose a little more. I do feel like some of my restriction returned and it helped me to remember exactly how to use this tool. I recommend it but make sure you get enough calories in so you're not too light headed.

I was sleeved 5/15/13. I'm down 106 pounds! Highest weight was 273 and today I'm 167 : )

Wear it, you look awesome! So there is a little saggy skin-big deal. You look bkini ready to us, but it is all about how you feel. So, taoe a little cover up, but def sport the bikini. If you get self conciuos you have a little cover to help you feel better if needed... be brave! Conquer!! Lols

you look great

Thank you! I wore it to the lake today and it felt AMAZING!
Congrats on your surgery! The first week was definitely the hardest for me and it just got easier from there. My exercises of choice are Spin classes and Bodypump classes. Weight training is very important so don't forget that. But take exercise slow this early on in your journey. Wait til your doctor clears you and go as slow as your body tells you to for now. It was hard for me to get used to exercising on such low caloric intake.
You'll do great!

So I bought my very first bikini yesterday! My skin on my stomach is a little saggy so I'm nervous to wear it but I'll work up the courage one day! This is a total NSV!

You look great

Thanks y'all! My highest weight was 273 and now I'm 165! I had surgery on May 15, 2013.
Lylabelle- congrats on your surgery! You'll do great!
Here's a before an after pic so you see my pre op!
