OK ... When I look at my stats, I think I've done really well. In Vegas last week, I was feeling pretty good about myself. 31 pounds in 2 months & wearing 12/14 clothes.

Well, today I took my measurements. I only lost 4 inches in the past month. I've also only lost 1.5 pounds in 12 days. And, to make matters worse, I saw the vacation pictures - I still look HUGE.

Part of me knows that I am much better off than I was on 1/27/10, but the other part of me is feeling down. I am working so hard - why can't I be a big loser??? I am so tired of being fat.

I don't know what I want someone to say. Just needed to vent. I'm not giving up (I can't anyway - my stomach is too small to binge eat). Just wanted a friend (or friends) who would understand.

Hi Mini Me

Just wanted to jump in and say I could have written this post!! I think I was in the same boat as you are. I lost weight, dropped sizes in my clothes but I felt like I still looked the same! I really did not see a difference until I hit the 50lb mark!! I have actually read about other people posting the same thing. All at once I felt much lighter, I dropped more sizes in my clothes and I could truly see a difference!! So give it just a little longer it will happen, and then you will say YES this is why I did this!

Good luck!!

Thank so much for your post.

Hi Mini, I have been where you are now. It's hard to deal with how bad it was I think. I cringe when I see the old photos. Please hang on in there, it will all be OK in the next year. Loads o love Jane

Hey There Mini!

I can soo relate with what you are saying. Everytime I looked at myself in the mirror I would think to myself "the scale says I've lost weight, Why can't I see it?" Then last weekend I went dress shopping and found this really awesome black dress and I was AMAZED when I looked inthe mirror. I could finally see it. I used to wear a 24... this dress was a 16!!!! So I think it is like John said, what you wear might make a difference. You are doing great 30 lbs in 2 months is fantastic. Keep up the great work!
