I just had to take a peek

[FutureMrs.Bee 56]

Today at the gym this young lady jumped on the scale and I just had to take a peek. (I am always fascinated at people who are confident enough to step on a scale in a public area)

To my shock and amazement we weighed the same amount. Could that be?? I don't feel like we look the same!!!! I don't even feel like I am close to her size. After losing 70 pounds it is hard for my brain to catch up with my body. Does any one else have this issue?

Now that is a NSV worth jotting down in your diary! And if you don't have a diary start one today just for this! Congrats!

Yep. It happened to me when a friend was asking me how it felt after losing so much weight. She commented that no matter what she did, she couldn't get below 160. And I thought to myself, "Wait... I weigh less than 160...how can that be?" I look at her, and she looks to be a perfectly normal weight (we're the same height) but when I look at myself most times, I still see the overweight person I was. Personally, I think it's all the extra skin that's clouding my view in the mirror. <shrugs>

I did that with hubby about 2weeks ago. I finally weigh less than him

I agree with @SuzeMuze. It's the extra skin that keeps me from seeing that I am actually thin compared to the average American woman. I have a pouf in the front that I focus on when I look at myself in a mirror. Makes me wish I had not delayed my Tummy Tuck.< /p>
