today. Ive worn a slightly fitted sweater and I can see all my shape its weird but Im still thinking in overweight mode. I mentioned to a friend/colleague was it too much and was she sure I looked ok. She kindly gave me a good talking too which has done me some good. I think thats why I cant believe ive lost so much weight because I honestly dont see me a slim person. Odd!
.... i need to put some of my bigger clothes on again and take pics then post them all over the house so i can see the difference. The tunic top i was wearing when i was at my friends I was never able to wear when i bought it as it was far too small.... when i wore it at hers it was too big .... the leggings I used to have to wear my knickers over the top as they rolled down over my flab.... they dont do that now and ive bought smaller pair but I still cant see a thin person.... even my son said i was talking nonsense
its weird isnt it
Invest in some new undergarments - my too big underpants make me laugh now when I pull them out of the drawer - I really need to throw them out, but I haven't been able to yet. I've also got a pair of yoga pants that are way too huge that I just won't give up, even though I can pull them up to my armpits now -- I get an ego boost by doing silly things like that when no one else is around. I also do the 15 minute reality check after hubby and kid have left - this is the time when I check all the bones and flab while naked in the full-length mirror. I spent so long avoiding looking at myself that I want to make sure I don't do that again - so I make myself look at the back and front and sides so that I am creating a realistic self-image. I know I am still a slightly overweight, flabby, middle-aged woman - but I also know I am no longer the morbidly obese woman that I was at this time last year!
