As a lot of you probably know by now my weightloss journey has been a long one and I have lost so far 1lb under 9 stone. My weight is currently 11 stone.
Anyway this is where your advice is needed. Over the last couple of weeks quite a few people including my children, my sister and now today the only other woman who works in our company have been telling me that I need to stop and not lose anymore weight as I am now in their words "skinny" (I wish).
The lady at work came into my office today shut the door and just said she is worried that I am becoming addicted to losing weight and that she is worried about me as I am starting to look a little gaunt around my face neck and shoulders. My sister said the same kind of thing to me at the weekend.
I know that I have got at least 1 stone of excess skin on my stomach and the tops of my legs, which the hosptial consultant said I could have removed, if I didnt have acute asthma so its a no go.
I am a comfortable size 10 on my top half, and bottom half in skirts a size 12 or trousers/jeans a 14 due to the excess skin. Dresses are also a size 12.
So am I becoming addicted and should I just accept how I am. My current target weight is 10 stone 7 and when I discussed mentioned dropping it to my consultant at class next week she also didnt think it a good idea.
So what would you guys do? Is it just that I am always going to see myself as fat and so will never be happy with my size or should I carry on?
I guess if it helps i could get the children to take a pic tonight and post it on here for you all to see.
You guys are the only ones who really understand what I am going through hence asking what you would do!
I hope that you dont all think I am totally barmy!!
