Strange feelings
by hereigoagain @ 06/10/2006 - 08:57:55 am

Hi everyone. I don't seem to be writing much in this "weight loss blog" lately and I though I should explain my reasons why.

Now, before I start I just want to say that losing this weight has been one of the best things I've ever done and I don't regret doing it for a minute :D

My problem now is that I don't know how I feel. Yes I know it's mad!! Everyone keeps telling me how well I've done and how good I look. But I just can't beleive them. I look in the mirror and still see the same face and body. At the moment I don't feel any different. Yes I know my clothes are smaller etc, but my head is honestly messed up 8| I pick up clothes that look tiny (to me) and when I put them on they fit!!!

I think really I'm upset with myself for letting myself get to that state in the first place. I've lost loads of weight, and as I wrote in one of the forums earlier I'm still obese - I still look like a "before" photo.

I'm hoping that these feelings will pass, and I've been assured that they will, but just wanted to let you all in on my thoughts at the moment.

Hey, isn't that what this blogs for?? :DD :DD

Anyhow another weigh in later today ;)

I think it takes time for the brain to catch up with your real image. Dont lose heart, you do look great. :D

I agree - don't lose heart. I have lost 8 Ibs and, although my stomache's deflated a bit, I still feel - well, if that's all that's happened after all that effort...but I've only been doing it for 4 weeks - I keep imagining what it'll be like in another 4 weeks time. Keep the next immediate goal in mind rather than seeing the whole scary slog ahead - ie, going from obese to overweight (according to BMI) and then move on to the next one - going from overweight to normal weight, or even the next dress size down.

I'm not even overweight yet!!! I'm just going from morbidly obese to obese, but I do know what you mean :)

You are such an example to us all. I remember when I first read your blog - thinking - this is incredible! Now you are 107lb lighter that is almost 9 stone!! You are amazing :)

Our inner "self" has very little connection to the physical self on show - I remember being quite shocked when I first saw my profile and realised I had such a large nose. I suspect when we don't like what we see in the mirror, we deliberately divorce ouselves even further from it - I look in the mirror nowadays and wonder who that wrinkly face belongs to. So you have done this for years, and are now having to come to terms with the fact that your image is becoming ever closer to what you would actually like to look like - thus rejecting all your old mental defence mechanisms.
In short - yes, your mind is confused right now! But self disgust is all too easy and only destructive. Try a bit of self love and forgive yourself for the old you and be glad you can bring about the changes you want. (I'm still stuck with the nose!)

Ever thought of becoming a counsellor?? You always know the right thing to say to me xx

i think its commn to feel how you do, i know i have lost weight i know cos the scales tell me, so does the tape measure and people, but i dont feel thinner, i still feel fat, i thought i would feel slim and i do ......every now and again ... for a few mins, then it wears off,

you have lost an incredible amount of weight and eventually your eyes and mine lol will catch up, but for now im taking peoples word for it, and so should you,
