| a bit of a whine...on the day I hit 100 lbs down...
Guys,
I've lost 100 pounds as of today. I feel fabulous and wonderful...and yet I am still fat. I went shopping yesterday and I still don't fit into a 16. I still can't fit into the regular clothing at Macy's or L and T.
It's kind of disheartening. Well...it's really disheartening.
I still have another 58 lbs to lose to get to a healthy BMI. It may as well be another person. I feel as though I will NEVER get there. I know I've lost 100lbs...and that is a HUGE milestone, but there is still so much more for me to lose, I feel like I have no control over it all.
On the upside--I don't think I've been this weight since at least HS...maybe even junior high. That's kind of cool!!
Any thoughts?
Rain

State: Texas | I'm sorry Rain! I know that's disappointing. But WOW! What a difference between your pictures. You look gorgeous! And 40 inches off your body. That's a major accomplishment. It gives those of us who are just starting hope. You may not know it, but you are an inspiration to the rest of us! Keep up the good work! You'll get there.

City: Sydney, Australia | 100 lbs is an amazing feat and you should be so proud of yourself. I have lost 31 lbs and I know how hard it was doing that so another 70 lbs more has to be something to be applauded.
Remember that a year ago you couldn't even have imagined wearing a size 16 and here you are an inch or so away from that... that's a good thing. It's not easy staying pumped and excited about this because the last lot of weight will obviously be the hardest to shift but what is another year of your life when you had all that excess weight for so much longer than that. 1 lb at a time... 52 weeks in a year, 1 lb a week... GOAL !! (or close to it)

I know exactly how you feel. Some people say ten or twenty pounds per size. I think that's a load of bs. I think it's going to be 40 or 50 before I get down from 18's to 16's. It's the damn tummy for me. Now I just had gallbladder removed, so any muscle tone I was starting to have near waist is totally gone - looking pregnant :(.
Anyway, let's remember this three months from now when we're whining about not fitting into 14's yet.
Congratulations on your 100.
Sue

You look fantastic!!! I wish we could tell our bodies where to loose the weight so that shopping for clothes would be more enjoyable!!! Make sure you celebrate and reward yourself with something besides being frustrated with your clothes!!! That is a huge milestone you just accomplished!!! Maybe you could look for a nice piece of jewelry or a day at a spa!!!!
Congratulations again!

You look really good compared to the 2 pictures I saw of you so pick yourself back up off the floor and quit feeling sorry for yourself. Youve done great so far and just think of it as being over the top and now its all down hill. I hope I can do as good. Quote:

City: Charters Towers State: Australia | Wow Rain you lk amazing - I know when your feeling down and disheartened it doesn't mean much when people say this but know truly you have accomplished soooo much!!! These feelings will pass. I have just started my journey and look forward to the day i can have a whinge about clothing sizes that start with a 1.... all mine start with a 2 and end in a 6/8. May you soon be complaining about size 14's. Good luck !!!!! | |
