Ok So Ive had great luck in my weight loss. Im struggling now to adjust to a normal life and get good eating habits.,,my question is..

Is anyone else disappointed in what they look/act like?

I had these visions all my life of when I was skinny Id be beautiful and everyone would want to be my friend and I would have this great life...lol like being skinny would solve my problems or something

Now yes I know thats silly, and of course I didnt expect it to happen..but is anyone else like disapointed in how they look as they loose weight.. Im not talking about loose skin or anything..anyways just wondering if I was the only one carrying this particular baggage:wink2:

hun you have done great with your weight loss, although i haven't been banded yet when i had lost weight previously i also took around a pic of when i was at my largest and compared to myself then, to remind me of how well i had done.

they do say your head takes a lil while to catch up with your new body.

gg's right. We look at ourselves everyday and are used to our reflection. We get used to being disappointed at what we see. Most people invision themselves completely opposite from what they are now. Sometimes looking back to where we came from helps. You'll probably be amazed.

Hey stranger! I was just banded on 5.23 and can only hope for the kind of sucess that you have had. You look great! Honestly, how much better is life now? I would put my money on 'alot'! Noone is perfect and we women especially are always much harder on ourselves than other people. You have done a hell of a job and should be proud of the changes you have made. I suggest a little retail therapy to remind you how much you have accomplished.
