Guest guest Posted July 20, 2001 Report Share Posted July 20, 2001 I know this message wasnt intended to offend anyone and it didnt offend me but it hit home for me. It is the reason I havent gone to any support groups here where I live in minnesota. I am worried the others in the group will see me as a failure. Since i started out at such a high weight for me 270 would be a treat. But in reality I will still be considered fat. It is kinda of depressing to think even after losing a hundred pounds the world will still see me as huge. Anyone else think like this? carol > > << I'm gonna be in the Sinai cafeteria at 5:00 eating dinner on > > Wednesday, December 19. I will be the still-fat one amongst all you > > skinny-ass people.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2001 Report Share Posted December 14, 2001 Hi Carol, I know it is hard to imagine individual perspective. I'm so sorry you feel so bad. When I am feeling bad about myself, I say (out loud if I have to) focus, focus. There will always be people better off than we are and there will always be people worse off. Focus on the positive and reaffirm the wonderful loss of 100 pounds (and the fact that you no longer have to carry that burden). You are so much healthier now than you were before! Congratulations on your success! Proud of you! Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2001 Report Share Posted December 14, 2001 I think it is normal to feel that way....I know that when people look at me now they consider me normal but I can't help but think....I am still the largest person in the room *shrugs* No one yell at me but I think we woman are harder on ourselves and we suffer from " being the biggest one in the room syndrome " I personally promise myself that when I go to the Mt. Sinai meeting on wed. even if I am the biggest one there that I will be wearing a cute outfit and will be checking myself out in all available mirrors!
