Hi all just wanted to know if there is a few like me!! I have gone from 18stone 2Lb and I always wished it would go below 17stone, but every stone I lose I want the scales to be that figure under, meaning when I got to 17 stone I wanted 16 stone and so on.If that makes sense to any-one. In a nut shell I feel at the moment Ime never satisfied with what I weigh and that is selfish of me I know. Just wandering if its just me that feels like this. Gail.x
 
Hi Gail xxx

I feel this way too and it has been one of the things that keeps me motivated seeing those numbers dropping each week.

It's never enough, and never quick enough LOL :D:D:D
 
Not selfish in my opinion. Optimistic - AND YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE SO.
I look forwrad to getting to the stone below and as soon as I am there I want the next stone below!! and so the cycle goes on!!!

It is your hard work making those scales go down so be as greedy (but healthy) as you want.
xx
 
I don't think this applies to just people who've had wls. I was at my slimming group tonight and one of the girls is about a size 10 tops, she had an aim to lose a stone by xmas. No way she has a stone of weight on her dripping wet carrying a bag of shopping.... Thin people aren't happy either it appears!!!!
 
THIS IS IT!!! exactly, but you seemed to have worded it a lot better than me. Thank -you!!

Gail I feel exactly the same and am really pleased with my weight loss and the way its going, but over the last 3 weeks have lost 5lb and I have gotten used to losing that in a week. I know the weight loss slows down, but I just wasn't prepared for it mentally. I am feeling really good about it now and know that this loss is really good. But it doesn't stop me wanting more. Hope this helps. x x
 
I know what you mean. I have an idea what I would like to achieve but don't want to disappoint myself just in case I dont succeed.

I am pleased that I have lost some lbs before my op, but secretly would like to be below 20st before I go under the knife.
 
Hi Tes, I cant believe how so many peeps have been so honest, I thought it was me acting like a spoilt brat lol Ive been pondering for the last hour wether to put this thread on or not . Incase it was me being abnormal. Dont you dare answer that carol (hopeless case)

Well gail my target was always 140lbs (10stone) and im there bob on. So i should be really happy and satisfied. But no i want to see them scales say 9stone 13lbs at least will i be satisfied then probably not.I think the thing is that none of us know where this journey is going to end. I always said i would be happy if i got to size 16 and i was but as the weight continues to come off and i shrink some more i think yep this size 10/12 will do for me.
so no i dont think yr being selfish yr on an unknown rd and who knows where it will end but each time you turn that corner and get to the next junction its human nature to want to go that bit futher and explore!!!

see there was me typing a nice sensable answer and you think the worse of me lol
 
How long have you been over weight? Exactly. No one thinks you are being selfish.We all deserve to feel healthy and happy.How many of us would gladly give up something they love to be the weight we felt happiest at?
 
I am the same. But don't think we are ever satisfied as I have a friend who is 9 and a half stone and looks lovely but she is striving to be 8 stone something!!!
