I seem to look in the mirror everyday and wish for change so much i start to believe im seeing it! I am losing that im happy for you but i just thought with what iv lost i should notice more like loose clothing stuff like that and notta! The only thing i actually feel is flabbier tummy section! Ugh sorry just needed to vent a little!

This is a journey and not an event...this journey has allowed me to acquire a life skill which eluded me for years: patience.

Relax, and take a day at a time. Focus on your diet compliance and exercise, and the results will become obvious.

did you take measurements? If not do it. It helps with the motivation.

Take a picture of yourself now then take the same pose in a month or two. You may not see changes in the mirror but you may on paper.

After surgery, it seemed to me that the blinders were lifted and I saw myself like others might. This was after over 30lb loss, but my head wasn't in the positive mindset. I was sad and mad at myself and all I could see was the bad.

I then put together a collage of progress pictures and was able to SEE the positive changes and let myself be happy with me. I'm a work in progress and some days may be better than others, but you have to love yourself first and foremost.
