178 again this week.
Nothing too sad about maintaining... except I'd like to get on down to the 160's :)
Anywho...
Guess what happens to me occiasionally?
I still think I weigh 277 pounds.
I still feel like I take up more space in the World than I should.
This is a battle for me.
Why is there/was there ever shame attached to what I weighed/weigh?
Why do I think other people care?
How can I wear a pair of size 12 jeans and a medium shirt and still be uncomfortable in my own skin?
This brain of mine, I am telling you, it is broken some days.
:)
I don't know but if you figure it out, let me know. There are times where I pick up a size 22 and think it will fit.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you!
ReplyDeleteI think that happens to everyone. Sometimes I'm still surprised I fit into a chair. Yes I'm still big, but not the size I was. Sometimes I pick up a 22/24 and then wonder why it swallows me whole? I've read a lot about body dismorphic disorder post weight-loss and it's interesting to me. Unfortunately, I haven't seen any really good solutions to the problem.
ReplyDeleteI just lol'd at Beth Ann's comment as that is exactly me!! I'm still 270 lbs inside my head and think that Oooh this is cute, and realize it's a 22. /sigh when will my self image catch up?
ReplyDeleteI actually bought a XL shirt this weekend at the thrift store and was surprised yesterday when I put it on and it was baggy and loose. Hello Cat...nothing bigger than L anymore. and mostly medium. I'm with you Lady!
