Abz, I had the same problem, I was very deluded. Just recently I have looked in the mirror and I have woken up to the fact that I am actually larger then I think I am in my head. However I realised that I can be the person that I imagined I was and this has kick started me to do something about it.

the problem i am battling against now is that i am a size 18 and feeling like a normal size. thing is, now i'm getting used to it i can see that i'm still overweight. i felt thin for a while in comparison to what i had been. so now i need to get cracking again. my brain hates me. i've decided

I can't see myself as a slim person.

I, honestly, do not recognise my reflection / pictures of me and it kinda scares me...

slendablenda · 5th October, 2008

I know what you mean. It is very confusing. We seem to have the ability not to admit it to ourselves when we become very overweight - even though we have to buy huge clothes and end up wearing almost totally black trousers or skirts and avoiding having our photo taken. Then - marvellous - we lose all this weight - and can't believe what the clothes size and mirror tells us. Aren't we complicated?

i have always been big.. i think the only time I have ever been small was when i was born at 5lbs!

I can imagine a slim me though, even though I never have been. I would love to be a curvy size 14 or 16, just so I could shop in places like Primark! It kills me that I see so many gorgeous clothes and I know I dont even have to walk in the shop to find if they have my size as I am limited to MKone (which only ever has awful grandma-style larger sizes when i visit!) New Look, Evans.. its literally just dawning on me now how few shops I actually buy clothes from..

I can't ever see myself as slim. I've always been fat. Now, I'm a size 10, but I still feel fat, and still look it when I look in the mirror. :\

munkypooh · 25th October, 2008

Ditto.
Sometimes I see that I'm thin now....mainly see the lumps and bumps..

radicore · 25th October, 2008

^It annoys me to no end. I'm more self conscious now than I was at my biggest.

The fact I'm surrounded by tiny size 6-8 girls probably doesn't help...

munkypooh · 25th October, 2008

Try not to compare yourself to those around you, It won't come to any good.
I can't tell you what to do for the best without being a hypocrite. But I can tell you what to avoid doing...from a hell of a lot of experience.
Don't try to fit in....be yourself, don't ever let yourself believe that appearance is more important than health and happiness...extreme dieting will rob you of your faculties...may sound weird, but if you don't allow yourself enough nutrition you will become emotionally unstable and probably depressed....
vicious cycle......

Having delivered that lecture....from your previous posts, you seem a hell of a lot more sensible than I was at your age!!!! Just keep things in perspective

radicore · 25th October, 2008

^I know. (: I try not to let it get me down; we're not all supposed to be the same size or shape, and I know half the girls that size won't stay the same way forever. It's just annoying they can be small effortlessly, while we have to make so much effort. It'll pay off though; always does.

You are right on that one....having left school over 10 years ago I'm now quite surprised by how the people who bullied me at school for being fat look these days....

Thank You Facebook

I only added my school bullies so I could see what they were like now and it made me feel so much better!

Yeah, my mom was fat as a child, and now she's pretty skinny, and she said she's run into the girls who used to bully her for her weight, and they're now twice the size she ever was.

Hehe...I also like the fact that most of the 'cool kids' from school now look old enough to be my parents

I got ID'ed again buying the drinks for my boyfs birthday party, and some of them easily look 40 now

being mean clearly makes you age badly
