Hang in there, and things will be solved in all due time. meanwhile, Vitalady and I have been cruising for a dust-up anyways for a long time now.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2002 Report Share Posted July 13, 2002 Hi Laurie, I don't think you can compare yourself to others here, we all end up at different places, some of us go really low and then gain back. That said why do you feel your still fat? Have you ever thought that perhaps its in your head? Ask your friends and family for a honest (as opposed to the generic You look great) appraisal of how you look. I ask my kids (kids are brutally honest aren't they..lol) when I see someone that I feel is close to me in size how I compare and I'm always smaller because in my head I'm still fat, my body size is different. I look much smaller than the numbers and its been explained that formerly obese people have heavier bones than *normies*. I believe that is true because when I weighted this weight when I was young I was in much bigger clothes sizes and looking at pictures I looked much heavier. I think head *fat* is something alot of us have to deal with. We can't just say now we are thin, go to your PC and ask about body fat. I was shocked to learn that I had very little body fat just skin. Deb > hi all. i am not new to the group; have been lurking for a while but i do have a question. does anyone ever feel un-happy where they are? meaning, i was 300 lbs and a 3x/24W and now am 175 size 14/L and sometimes M. i am 5'6 " and most of the time i feel good about where i am at. i have some loose skin and some wonderful jiggly thighs and floppy stomach but other than that, i am ok with me. but does anyone ever feel like they failed cuz to society they are still overweight? i find myself jealous that others have lost more, weigh less, wear smaller sizes and all that good stuff. anyone else out there and is there a way to just be happy? i had to unscribe to one site cuz it was too much for me to compare and i was really down on myself. thank's for listening and any advice is appreciated. laurie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
