Hi everyone. Hope you don't mind me posting as you seem a friendly bunch. I have just got to my sw target after losing 7 stone 1 (6 stone 8 with sw did half a stone before joining).
I read through some of your inspirational stories and finally found people who feel like me.
I felt like crying last night when I read the thread about the large ladies who lost loads of weight still feeling huge etc.
I am finding it really hard to see me as a slimmer person. I know clothes wise I am massivly different going from a size 24/26 to a 12. However I still feel I am just me inside. I have always been overweight from being a child and I am now the lightest I have ever been even from going into secondary school.
I tell them at group how I feel and I think most feel I am daft. I go with my mum sister and friend and my mum has lost loads too and feels like me. One lady just snipes if you cant see it then you must have an eating dissorder, I have no problem with food I can control myself now and don't binge. I just have no confidence in me. I still find myself shopping in the plus size clothing. I see people and think I am there size ( least 20).
I am hoping my head will catch up like a lot have advised others. I sometimes catch myself in the windows of shops and think no thats not me it must be them reflections that make you look smaller. I look down on my legs and think they are still huge so I am scared to buy nice clothing.
sorry to moan on but I have no one else to speak to as everyone thinks I am mad, even my hubby that just tells me I look amazing.
