I weighed on my scale in my T's office and I am at surgery weight. I am going to wait a couple of weeks before I call my surgeon though because it is about to be that blessed time of the month and I usually gain a bit and I need to see how much I need to lose before I call him.

I am excited truly I am but scared spitless also. I took a look at myself in the mirror today and tried to imagine myself and how I will look and just couldn't grasp it. I had therapy today and we talked about it and she said she sees it a lot that people that have lost a of weight still see themselves fat. It takes a long time to get used to yourself in your new skin. So she said it would be something we will be talking about until I have my surgery and then after also. I think it helps that my T is also an eating disorder specialist.

Congratulations jbug

So glad that your T is an Eating Disorder Specialist too. You are in very good hands. Talk until you can't talk anymore and then start again.

Way to go!!!!

I saw myself as overweight for about four months after I lost weight, all the attention from men was confusing at first....then just plain FUN
