Too Small :(



Recommended Posts

I've been looking at before and after pics, and now I'm really worried I'll end up too small. After spending all my life being curvaceous, I don't want to end up a twig! I've spent my whole life telling myself that I'm beautiful bigger, what if I hate it being skinny? Is there a way to stop losing weight? Do I get to pick where to stop? I still want to be me!

Everyone is different and will have different experiences! You should stop worrying about the "what-ifs." Otherwise, what if you don't lose enough weight? Live in the present. There are several ways to stop losing, but you really need to focus on what you need to do right now. :)

It will level out! If you feel that you have lost too much you can increase your calories. However, its good to lose an extra twenty once you near goal because my surgeon told me that after five years its a fifty percent chance the weight can come back on. Noooo, I do not want to go back to the plus sizes. I am enjoying wearing size twelve. People keep saying don't lose no more, like I got control of how much to lose. However, I want to wear size ten. Good luck you will be fine, just keeping eating healthy and getting your exercise in. You can still have curves and be slim.

Gee, if only I had this problem. More than likely, like most of us, you'll agonise over the last 10kg and trying to give yourself a 2 kg (5 lb) buffer.

Lose an extra 20 pounds....I don't believe that that is the bast advice...Like the lady said before ( live in the present ) tomorrow will have its own anxieties! A 10 lb buffer will be your cue to lose or stay the same.....Your body will stop when it gets where it is most comfortable....And later on if you stretch out your sleeve then you can put the weight back on ...Or by going back to your old habits....eating the wrong stuff constantly. And not dealing with the issues that brought you to this place.....

I was told that most people retain their same overall body shape. So if you are curvy then most likely you will still be a bit curvy. So for example if you're a pear, you'll be a pear but a much smaller one.

I would not worry about losing your shape. During the weight loss phase sure your body may lose and you may look out of proportion for a bit but as you near goal, you'll find that overall you look similiar.

I've always had a smaller waist than breast and hips. As I'm losing inches I've found that my chest is going down at a much faster rate than my hips so I look more pear shaped. However this week my waist went down some so I'm back to more of a figure 8.

Just go with your body's cues and you'll be fine.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
