Jacked up body image....and NSV?

  • Popular Post

Ok, so I needed new jeans because I had two pairs of 16s. One was too baggy in the thighs and the other too tight on the butt. I picked up a pair of 16 capris and just for fun a pair of 14s. I looked at those 14s and thought no way they'd even come over my thighs! Well they did! Then thought no way I'd be able to button them! I did! I left with a size 14 capri.

I've gone from a tight 22 to a 14 in 7 1/2 months. I remember being a 16 in junior high don't remember ever being a 14! Why don't I see myself so much smaller than I've ever been?!? Just one and a half more points and I will no longer be at an obese BMI. I started at 44!

    So true. We are never happy and we need to get over it! We are beautiful at all our stages. I look back at photos when I was always dieting and think ...Sheeeeit, I was skinny! Not this time, as lon

    I will NEVER feel ok about kayaking. I'd be like those cheap bath toys that go upside down and I'd be conversing with the fishies

  • It's madness! My brother has lost over 100 pounds and he says he still sees himself as he did at 300+. He's 6'5 and like 215 now. Before I lost weight, I was like how is that even possible?!?! Now I

I lost well over 200 lbs 6 or 7 yrs ago, and the reason I gained it back was body image issues. This time I will not do it again.

Oh, I'll have body image issues and see myself over 400 lbs again just like I did then, but I've already got a list of counselors that I requested who are familiar with bariatric issues, because I know it will happen again. This time I'm being proactive about it.

Wow, Brian! I wish you all the success with your journey!

I know the feeling... I went shopping at the mall yesterday for a new pair of jeans. I left the house feeling stylish and kinda sexy driving our new car with the top down :P

Enter the mall... The first thing I see is a reflection of myself in a random mirror. And I look old and still FAT! :(

I went to the gap to buy a pair of jeans I know I'm size 12 there now, and I don't know, while I was in the dressing room I see my fat thighs and old woman ass (47 last week) in the double mirrors and got more down.... For f**k sakes I went from a size 20+ to a 12 pure no stretch denim and I still feel just as big sometimes.

Ok LoLo, let's just stop the "old lady" talk right now! (I'm 47, too) You are a beautiful, sexy mama who had it right when you left the house~ pay attention to all the compliments you get ~ we all know those GAP mirrors are recycled from a funhouse anyway. ;)
