Great job!!!

It does get easier to see yourself at your true size. i think that you will always have moments that you think - i look fat, but those become less and less.

however, at 3yrs out i still forget that i am not a fat person. like i will still talk to others and forget that they didn't know me when i was fat. this summer i was sick and lost 18 lbs. i was telling an overweight girl about it and i could see a bit of that eye rolling - skinny person wanting to gain weight. but when i reminded her of where i came from she seemed to relax.

There's also times i judge skinny people still - like they're a snot or something. then i remember, i'm a skinny person, are overweight people judging me? I find i am still friendlier to overweight people than thin people.

however, i have found myself noticing heavy people more. i instantly think that was me or they could be helped by WLS. i still struggle with know that this surgery is NOT for everyone, but thinking why wouldn't someone want to do it.

i also still struggle with my saggy boobs and the bags under my eyes. I know exercise would fix my flat butt and saggy arms so for some reason they don't bother me as much. But i don't want implants and i don't think i could do botox either. which leaves me no control over those things.

boy, i rambled.

Congrats on goal!!!!!!

Congrats! Great job!
I'm close to the same loss and the saggy butt thing! It hurts to sit!

Ah Rochelle, you got it on the head! I do the same things. I will take saggy over being obese any day! But it sure would be nice to feel confident in this new body! Since it happened so quickly, I imagine it will take a while before I get used to this!

Congratulations, that's a stellar accomplishment in 8 months. I am only 2 months out, but i already dislike my saggy skin and boobs. I agree with you both, I will take the saggy over the fat any day. Keep up the good work.

Congratulations to you!!

Just saying....I literally went from a 38D to a 32A! For real...I am flatter than my 14-year-old daughter. One bonus, though...they don't get in the way when exercising and the bras are cuter!! No matter how much I exercise it does nothing for the loose skin on my legs or my stomach. Also, the weight loss in my face I feel like makes me look much older than I am. The reality, though, is that no one sees us when we are naked so who cares, really? Clothes can hide what we want them to hide and accent what we want to accent. Congrats on the amazing weight loss...good for you!!

I am hoping I can make goal by 8 months. I have another 50 and 3 months so I am going to work hard to get there.

Congrats to you. Losing half of yourself is amazing.

I have gone from 300 lbs to 133 in the last 11 months and I too have issues with not seeing myself as others see me. A personal shopper wanted me to try on patterned pants and I told her they'd make my butt look fat. She sat me down and said the only thing that would make my butt look fat is a fat suit. I ended up buying the pants. I hope the reality of being a size 2 or 4 hits me soon because I do find it a bit frustrating to see myself differently than others see me.

I had massive amounts of extra skin everywhere. I had a tummy tuck and breast lift last month, and have a butt lift and brachioplasty scheduled for February. I can't wait until it's all done!

I too would do it again in a heartbeat. I have had no complications at all. Congratulations on your weight loss and meeting your goal.
