Why is it...that when we were FAT, we called ourselves overweight...but when we lose weight, we call ourselves FAT? And, why is it...that when we refused to buy UP one more size in clothing, we were FULLY COMMITTED to changing...but when we can now shop for a smaller size, we easily lose our resolve because 'look how well I've done'. I am the same ME that weighed 205 lbs. Sure, I have changed alot - so maybe not the exact same me - but basically I am the same. And I have to remind myself - sometimes daily - that to provide myself excuses...is a one way ticket to being OVERWEIGHT and a 16/18 AGAIN! No thanks! I'll pass. I'll pass on the cookies, and the wine, and the pumpkin pie...I'll pass on the gravy, and the Atkins bars that stall you, I'll pass on the nuts that make me crave more nuts... I don't care what it is... I will not ever weight 205 lbs again. And I will not live in fear that I will die a debilitating death from diabetes like my Dad. I'll take a pass on that too! Love.

I go clothes shopping and look at the smaller size and don't even try it on because it don't look like it's going to fit! It looks so small to me on the hanger that I think it will never fit! So always come away with nothing! I still see myself the way I was even though the smaller size would fit! Just can't get the old me out of my head and hoping that will come in time!

It took me a LOT of time, Leanne. I struggled with my overall 'body image' and my own view of myself...for a very LONG time. It's getting better, but I am by no means 'there' yet. Specifically pants. I look at the Leg - or thigh - and think, NO WAY is my leg going to fit into that hole! But I can't go around bare*** so I am forced to try stuff on...and low and behold...the very pair I didn't think would fit...DOES. I am still Amazed when that happens!

Wow, i would do anything to feel what you are feeling,, i still have a long way to go ,, but i'm hoping to weigh 60 kgs some time in the next 6 months, but even though i'm still losing weight sometimes i look in the mirror and i wonder if i'm ever gonna miss this, or be different, it is like "where is this person going to be?" stupid i know but i can't help but ask myself that.

I hear you, your post is so true. I am down a couple of sizes but when I go looking at clothes I can't believe I could fit into the size I fit now and just walk around in a daze. I need new underwear but just can't do it - I look at the bras, I mean I stand and stare at them all and think where do I start, and then I walk away. I look at the 'panties" (I hate that word) and think - what size, high cut, low cut, full brief ahhhh - and just walk away. I just can't do it. Don't know why, just find it extremely difficult. I guess too I am always on the run and have to actually take the time to shop for me, and not combine it with Christmas shopping. Can't shop on the fly when I don't know what size I am now, at least in the underwear department. I also need a new swim suit - talk about trauma!

well, IF you can hold off now for a few more weeks...go crazy after Christmas when the sales are on!! ( and boy do I know what you mean in the undies dept...) It's a lot of work ...where before... I just didn't care. I mean seriously, do undies in a size 9 come in anything other than white...and big...??? LOL! Now I am in a size 5 or Small...it's unbelieveable to me...even now... but my husband, totally enjoyed my shopping trip to Victoria Secrets. Maybe that could be your anniversary gift to your husband!!! Go buy him a treat!

You are too funny! Buy him a treat - he's got me, he doesn't need a treat! LOL. I will probably wait to buy the undies til I get to Florida in February. I'll have lots of time and more spare money. We have been saving like crazy - well, I have, I'm the money man in the house - so we will have a bit more freedom when we are away and its not long til we go on February 11. Still smiling at buying hubby a treat. Hope its not too near the knuckle - but he would rather have the undies off than on, no matter how cute they looked - blush!

funny isn't it...my husband works outside alot...and his hands get really dry and crackly skin around his fingers...so he doesn't like anything satiny...or lacy...because he says it feels uncomfortable to the touch. Ok, back to cotton...but at least they are a smaller size! LOL!!! (I'm 47, and I bought my first ever thong this year!) He didn't much care for it...and by the time we both got thru laughing...it didn't matter much...it wasn't on that long! wink! wink! Have a fabulous time in Florida - and don't sweat the bathing suit purchase...they make those with suck you in, hold everything in place panels now...so no matter what anyone's issues are...they should have a suit to match! Enjoy!!
