82 lb down..... & my pic didn't look like it today!

Since my preop diet started in May I have lost a total of 82 lb. I was sleeved on July 21. I feel great mentally & physically. I have been working out & having NSV'S etc. Today however, I felt good, felt thinner than I looked I guess! My hubby took a pic of me & I looked & I about fell over! Fatness all over again! I haven't gained, I HAVE NOT CHEATED, NOT ONCE. I just mentally thought I looked thinner than I did! My own mental image of myself was better than what the camera showed me!!!! WTF!!!!!!!!! I am supposed to want to show off pics now, not hide them like I used to. Has this happened to anyone? ????????

  • Yes it is brutal!! It makes me just want to cry!! The only good thing this side of surgery is I won't eat bad now. So even though I feel & think bad now, I won't turn to bad food to console myself

  • Could it be what your wearing? I sometimes still wear clothes that are too big for me and they are not very flatering. Ive noticed I look much thiner when I wear clothes that fit me properly. Its

  • It took me a long time for my head to catch up to the weight loss. I felt that way about my pictures until very recently. Even now at goal I'm sometimes still overly critical. It's really sad what

@@Lexuskela I promise I was going to say ( at least half ) of what @@heather5565 said. Promise! You are very curvy & a cutie pie. You are doing fantastic.

But it's funny you asked that question. A few weeks ago I had out of town guest and we were taking lots of pictures. I felt really cute & thin (relatively speaking), so I was in most of the shots, then I saw the pictures!!!! Wth? I felt like I should have LOOKED 20 Lbs. lighter then I did. I even said that to my husband.

I will say that it motivated me to stop slacking off because I'm determine that One day I will look the way I feel. This I know for sure.

I would kill to look like you in that full length pic - you have a super shape and your thighs are NOT too big - you are beautiful and sexy and should be proud of how awesome you look!!

Go YOU! :D
