Venting One More...maybe 2 More Times!

[june13sleever 223]

So I am down 85 Pounds and currently weight 206! I am 5'10" and have made it to six months!

This month I lost 9 pounds. I hope it slows down a little, but I am still super paranoid about losing too much.

I like where I am. Just want to be under 200. I haven't even started working out, which I committed to do by the new year as I know how hungry I get when I work out and just wanted to make sure I could consume more calories.

I know the scale will go where it goes, but the fact that I don't know where it is going scares me. What if I look like I am sick and you can see all of my bones?

That was always my biggest fear in this whole process. My hair fell out, and is still falling out, but that is ok.

I am hoping that I get to Florida for some sun soon and just try to not think about being too thin.

I mean how thin is too thin? I have NEVER been thin. Size 14 pants was the smallest I remember. That was designer. Right now I fit into a 14 Lane Bryant which is probably a 16 in most other stores. 16 bottom, 12 top.

I am not even at a year and so close to a 10.

Ok well I am still happy that I had the surgery! And if I get too skinny I will just tell people I am hungry and they will buy me lunch

I am not worried I will lose too much weight, but personally I don't want to be very thin- it would be completely odd for me. I would like to level out at thick and healthy of course! a size 10 or so. My doc wants me at 160 and I think that is perfect! I want to keep my booty and my thicker thighs and whats left of my breasts.. (So I don't look like a deflated balloon) So far so good. If I knew I could be thinner and not look deflated I would possibly like the idea more but that is not reality for me.

I also worry about being too thin, my boyfriend worries about it too. I try to tell him that I may end up being too thin at first but in time I will level out. I am still a long way off from being too thin, but it is a concern all the same. Since I have never been "thin" anyway I am playing this whole weight loss thing as I see it. I have no idea if I will be happy at 170, 160, or even 150. Since I am 5'8 and a large boned person I assume I can weigh more and still look thin, but who knows.

People tell me I look good at 200, they might be lying I dunno. Right now I weigh around 225 and I wear a size 14/16 pants and Large shirts. My goal is to be thin enough that I don't have extra fat, like I don't want back fat, and I would like to have a mostly flat stomach. I can't get too picky about the stomach fat though because I have had a baby with a c-section, I may never have the stomach I want.

You will be fine. I would like to say though that you should probably start working out so you can build lean muscle and not have too much extra flab and skin. One way to ensure you don't look sickly is to be lean and fit and not just "too thin". You will need to increase your calories, but you can slowly start incorporating more into your diet. This is all my opinoin though, in the end it's up to you and your doctor. Good Luck.
