I saw myself as...LOL at the Lane Bryant mirrors. <br /><br />I saw myself as very fat. But nearly as huge as I see when I look at the pictures now. Fatorexia. Can you write a paper for the medical journals and make your fortune?<br /><br />When the heck did I finally start reading your blog and commenting???debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17967505760808535408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-45979507509292951172009-02-22T17:21:00.000-06:002009-02-22T17:21:00.000-06:00I never think I'm as fat as I am. So when a scale...I never think I'm as fat as I am. So when a scale said I was one pound away from 300, I immediately started this life change. I know I'm fat, just never believe I'm really that huge "grossly obese" person that people whisper about in the stores, and examine my grocery cart for a clue as to why I look like I look. Thanks for the posting.

I sure can see the difference in photographs, though! <BR/><BR/>I guess this is why taking before/after photographs is a good idea. <BR/><BR/>I wonder if we will ever be able to look in the mirror and see ourselves as we really are.Riahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136973764256658305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-46634704180997072212009-02-19T14:04:00.000-06:002009-02-19T14:04:00.000-06:00This is great!

I thought I was like 150!<BR/><BR/>That was in 1999, my sister and I joined WW and I got down to 140 in a year. I maintained that loss for 7 years! But then my friend insulin let me eat whatever I wanted. Oh well! I am 163 and I feel huge, but its slowly coming off - who knew losing weight in your 40's takes a long time!<BR/><BR/>Hang in there!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-81834120600482147722009-02-19T09:47:00.000-06:002009-02-19T09:47:00.000-06:00I definitely do not have fatorexia.

And the Lane Bryant mirrors make me just as sick as the ones at home.<BR/><BR/>I still haven't posted my before pictures. I can't face it.

There's a real disconnect between my mirror and the camera. <BR/><BR/>Even now, I recently lost 10 lbs and have been feeling so "skinny" but I looked at a photo from this weekend. Skinny? Not yet.
