It is very hard accepting / seeing that we look different. I can totally understand why people with eating disorders have body dysmorphia & see themselves bigger than they actually are.
I think when I was at my biggest i refused to see it almost consciously & now I'm at my smallest no matter how hard I try I just can't see that I'm smaller. I pick up clothes way too big still, double take at myself walking past windows when I see a reflection of myself & when I'm folding up my washing I still say to myself, how the hell do you fit in that! It's completely crazy!
 
Ems in whole heartedly with you. I always go size 14 then it's too big then next thing in in a 6 - what!!?!!! I see the difference but acceptance is completely different thing.
This is the danger zone for me now.
I know the mental hard woke has to kick in now. Where I have to access what I eat and use it for fuel not for comfort joy or punishment . It has to be for body to work only.

The next 18 months are going to be so intersting.

To anyone new , anyone thinking of WLS or anyone who's just had it done, or had it done and struggled my advice is to believe in yourself, believe in your worth and it's all there to achieve if you can change your mindset, brush away any lows and demons that we use to stop us achieving and believe me, what u never thought u could achieve ... Is actually achievable with the right tools and attitude! ;-)

Big Saturday hugs.

Xxxxx

Erm- right. No used to swim nationally as a kid and then got into road running, this time round I've not done much training at all but my plan is at goal to get into burn and tone and body pump 2-3x per week. Tone everything up. My stomach is very loose. I've popped a few pictures on. Think it helps to see the realities of large weight loss, childbirth etc... I think it's really important to be realistic- I'm Never going to look like Cameron Diaz. I'm not planning on more surgery ( maybe my boobs as they as saggy puppy dog ears. Thanks guys I won't be leaving the site at all... I think this is part of the therapy to never getting back to that bad place again. To pay it forward. That's what I want to do for all you guys. I've got to maintain this loss and I have no reason to put it on and this site will help ... So I'll always be here to help, moan, photo, advise, and just chat and be there for anyone .... ;-)

CHIPS

Drool
 
Oh tell me about it but these are fat free.

Part boil peeled potatoes , cut into chip shapes , pre heat oven , spray fry light in and some salt in the drained potatoes and pop in the oven for 45 mins... Healthy healthy chips!!! See you don't have to go without at all ... Z



And I woke up today10:11... And I had a milky bar 15g and a full size ripple and still was 10:11 today !!!!

4lbs left to go!!!! ;-)
 
Yummy all your meals are looking fab and I love love love the blazer! You were so right to go back and get it and omg at u in that jumper pic lol! So funny! X x
 
Gonna do ham egg and chips and peas tomorrow.

Curry Thursday and sautéed potatoes.

Tonight is just jacket ( inside ) and soup... I'm feeling tad tight today but not sure if it's coz I've got a cold coming.... See the aim is to eat how your band feels, I know If I go make a hard dinner, steak and rice it's never gonna go down. It's all about taking each day and listening to your body I'm not gonna force food that I knows gonna upset me ;-) ... See clever girl working the rules and using the tools I paid so much for ;-)
 
Tomato soup went down lovely with some mash and extra light cheese triangles! Yummmmmm.

Been but ratty tonight, had to do the monster update on iPhone to IOS 8.02 ... Urghhhh #angryface

Other than that today has been great loving my new 10st 11 ... That's awesome, can't wait to be 4lbs lighter and in the dreaded maintenance mode... How the heck do you maintain weight loss... Think the next 18 months are gonna be the biggest test in my life.

Anyway... How do u stop loosing weight with the band??? Hummmm I have no idea? Do I try shove a bit more in... I'm full most days!!! I eat 5 meals / snacks it's crazy!!! So how will the loss stop? Has anyone any ideas?

So off to bed now. Hope everyone's archiving massive things with baby steps ;-) xxx
 
Today's lunch .

2 cheese light triangles with chicken breast slices and cucumber.

Yummmmm! Such a nice snack.

I'll have a yoghurt later . Think I'm finding out why I was feeling pants yesterday- my throats sore today ( making my band feel super tight ) I feel lethargic and tired. Just looking forward to the hairdresser tomorrow redoing my extension etc. Hair feels rubbish but I'm really worried I'm getting a serious cold, my throats like razor blades , my nose is constantly cold, my eyes feel watery. Yep winters on its way!!!!

Does any other banders out there notice having lost weight in the summer that they can't warm up? I'm so cold all the time. I feel freezing! The joys of weight loss I guess! ( I'll take it though ) xxx
