Wow such a difference, beautiful lady pre op, but we can see your pretty features better now xxx
 
Oh my word. What a difference. You have a really beautiful face and echo Butterflies comments
 
LOL@ME!! Thanks ladies....I can't believe that was me!!!??? REALLY???!!! The mind is an incredible thing....even when I scrutinised my reflection for hours, I just didn't SEE how big I was. I always thought I looked the same as I do now. Just "plump"....even though the scales said differently. It's almost like I didn't believe it. Massive case of denial methinks.

I'm so glad I had the sense to admit my health was deteriorating and I wasn't enjoying life.

Sat here typing this on the sofa.....and realised my legs are crossed for the FIRST time......

YIPPPPEEEEE!!!!! :)

I wonder why we don't see ourselves as others see us, I can't believe how big I was, equally I still think I'm vastly bigger than others say I am, a prime example of this, I lost 6st a few years back and bought myself a pair of size 16 Per Una jeans I loved these jeans until one day I saw a picture of myself in them and omg I was huge?!?!? (In my mind I was anyway) So that set me off binging, until at 22st+ I looked back on that picture and saw a slim person?!?!?
So when I started losing with my bypass, I dug out those Per Una jeans and knew I'd be slim if I ever fitted into them, well I've fitted into them and now they are way too big, do I fell or think I look slim!!! NO!! Lord give me strength to kick myself up the bum!! (Big fat lardy bum)

On the other hand is good as it might have crushed me emotionally if i had realised how bad i looked all the time.. :) i was feeling ok health wise and the size wise when i was size 22 three/four years ago.. (As i lost some weight then) but as always i gained the weight back and plus some more.. And for the last two years i could really feel it on my health, it was difficult to move and do even daily things around home... And i am only 26...

Yes i had my bypass. i am 5 weeks and 4 days post op. :) so still at a very begining of this new life. Still lots to learn, lots to find out, lots to feel and lots of weight to loose! :)

Llora, I'm soooo excited for you!!! Your life is indeed going to change, for the better :). At 27 you will be HOT and enjoying life!! Keep me updated.

Just make sure you take your vits and mins, as it makes such a difference....and concentrate on the protein. I can't stress these two points enough. You are going to do great and just think what your reflection will say to you next summer!!

Massive smiles xxxxx
 
Looking fabulous Ceecie xx
Our minds are strange and can make us see a very distorted view of the here and now. Its the hardest thing I think about weight loss there is not a lot we can do about our thoughts and what we see through our minds eye xx

I think it's about our identity Butterfly.....our thoughts about ourselves are cemented very early in regards to attractiveness.....I've always been overly confident and am now shocked at how bad I looked. I now think I'm slim!! Lmao :). I have to keep reminding myself I still need to lose weight as the inner me tells me the job is as good as done already!!!!! It will be interesting to see how I feel at 10-11 stone if I ever get there.....

I think you look gorgeous and dare I say it, "normal" ....I'd never believe you have lost so much weight. Try to enjoy it xxx

Thanks Chrisa x. How are you? Haven't heard from you in ages? Hope things are easier food wise whilst your at work now? I think you are right about how we see ourselves, it's very difficult to see the changes, good or bad, no matter what people may say.

Lovely to hear from you xxx
