Say what?

I've had 2 women who I view as small/average who've offered me clothes than say "I don't think they'll fit you, your smaller than me!" What a shocking, thrilling experience. Man I must carry my weight well because I'm so not their size and definitely not their weight. I'm guessing I'm at least 30 lbs heavier.

You should take the clothes and the compliment. Even if you can't actually fit in them NOW, you likely will be able to soon enough!

They think they're too BIG for me now, lol.

You may be experiencing a tiny bit of body dysmorphia. For many of us, we will always see ourselves as fat. If 2 different people both said they think their clothes are toot big for you, believe them. You probably just can't see the difference yet.

Isn't that weird how that happens? I'm experiencing a little of it right now. I used to roll my eyes a little at people who claimed they didn't feel they looked smaller, or just couldn't see it when they looked in the mirror. Now I'm experiencing it, too.

Karma has a great way of kicking you in the butt.

What a great feeling, right?! I too would role my eyes when people would say, "You're so tiny." I often respond with quips like, "You're crazy!" It took a long time to accept that I was not a big girl anymore. I am getting plastics in about 5 weeks. My doctor said I will go down another size or two...and I am already down to a 6!!!

My advice: Accept it! Own it! Work it!!!

I totally get this. I don't feel like I have lost weight but I have gone from a size 3x to a XXL so I know I have lost. Feels weird.

There might be some dysmporphia, or maybe you just DO carry your weight well. No can believe I weigh as much as I do. When I tell them my BMI is still overweight, they can't believe it. I don't know why that is, but I think it's partially the way my weight is distributed. Honestly, I thought I was having issues with dysmporphia, but now I don't think so.

[kimpossible67 608]

No it's not dismorphia. I know what $I look like and weigh but I distribute my weight well. My bmi is 31.1, almost overweight!
