Didn't notice my weight loss



Recommended Posts

I've been getting lots of compliments on how I look now and how I'm doing a great job on my weight loss but I haven't noticed it. The other day I decided to take some side by side photos and it wasn't until then that I noticed it. Just wondering do anyone else feel the same way?!!!IMG_0239.thumb.JPG.5b1270ddcc3046bc96a7129c5005ca78.JPG IMG_0241.thumb.JPG.b827e08a2d45ee2a54d266a5f496ea44.JPG

I'm glad that you noticed! You know, I do believe that sometimes we are our own worst critic.

Keep up the awesome work!

You look great! I can't tell I've lost 30 lbs but my husband says he can see it.

You are doing great! I know what you mean though. Though my clothes were looser I didn't REALLY notice either. Now, I am stopping to examine everything so I can be more present in the journey and Celebrate my successes.

Keep up the good work. Many times, we are the last ones to notice. I think perhaps it's because we constantly adjust the way we think we look.

Great job! You look great! I could kinda tell for myself there were changes but i couldn't see how big they were until my boyfriend made a side by side for me and sent it in a text and said "next time you feel discouraged or like there hasn't been any change, just look at this picture. You've come a long way." He always tells me how proud he is of me and how great i look. It's really helped my confidence. It's also reassuring because other people keep commenting on my weight-loss. It's weird because i still barely feel or see myself as much different either but we see ourselves every day. Just keep doing what you're doing and you'll see the results yourself soon too and it'll only motivate you. Keep up the great work hun!

You're an inspiration!!! Thanks for posting the pics. I can never see my loss and don't feel like I look much different....but know my clothes fit much better. That's a start ;-)

You look great. I feel the same as you. I still feel bigger and when I see myself in a mirror I just stare because I don't recognize the person looking back at me.

Thanks!! I think we all have that problem where we just don't see ourselves as others do!! Keep going and I'm sure you'll notice it too

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
