when you lose 50 or 60 or 70 or 80 or 90 or 100?

will you thank yourself or say to yourself (geesh, i cant even tell).....i was looking at some before pictures of me and then some i took on halloween

and fell into that geesh, i cant even tell mind frame.....

sure i have lost pounds and inches and

sizes in clothes but i still me as i was when i started..people can say i can tell but i truly cant

(not on the inside)

i find i am still thinking as a fat person

i am def more positive and i am making this band work but i look in the mirror and go ICK, you fat cow, how could you have done that to yourself.

i just passed my 80 pound mark and thinking when i hit 90 or 100 or more, will i still be thinking as a fat person?

I am still thinking fat person. I just dont know when my head will catch up. I mean I know I am thinner than I was....ever.... LOL And I am starting to realize that my jeans are way smaller than my normal sized husband... but I still feel like the biggest person in the room. My hubby thinks I feel that way becasue I am tall... I dont know... its weird.

I am not far enough along to let you know how I would feel but right now when I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror or a store window I see a very fat person even though I have lost 34 lbs. I also cannot get it through my head that I am 4 sizes smaller than I was at Christmas.

I think you should check into therepy its never a waste of time or money. We don't get fat because we are mentally health and our life is perfect we all have issues it time to face them or you will do all this work and get right back to where you where I have seen it happen over and over. Depression is so common specialy now days and that is a big cause of eating issue check it out with your doctor it helped me..................................line dancer

Hey fellow Banded B I honestly dont think you need therapy. You are one the most sensible, optimistic people on this board.

Your head just needs time to catch up to your body. From the research I have done it is quite normal to feel like this.

Well I am three years out 178lbs and I still feel fat. If my stomach would vanish mysteriously I would be happier. I think we will always feel we are fat. I dont agree you need therapy because really if we let go of the band the result would be weight gain again. I feel I am in control but I think I will always feel fat.

Line dancer I think you missed the pount that CG is saying. It takes time for the head to catch up to the body. When we look in the mirror we see ourselves as the fat person, even after loosing 80 pounds. In time this image will adjust.

CG is very committed to her journey and very aware of her emotions. If anything she could counsel others on the emotional challenges of this journey.

CG is someone I look to for guidance and support. Thanks CG!

And I would like to be petite and tiny.... with small feet and hands with curly hair and shorter than many men. So much for that. LOL

But on the upside... I can reach all the shelves in my home. :)

The last person to need therapy is CG! She is a ROCK! She has helped me out a number of times and makes me laugh! Laughter is good for everyone! Just for the record, I am over a year out and it was only last week that I glimpsed myself in a mirror and thought "wow, I am getting thinner!" It takes to brain a while to catch up because we see ourselves every day. I think looking at old pictures, while a bit depressing, can help that thinking! CG don't despair. WE LOVE YOU!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
