See, that's not bread and mayonnaise, that's just good food!
She just takes bread and puts mayonnaise on it, nothing else.
True... I'm a big big fan of messy rolls... and cheese... good god I'd have cheese with anything . I went through a phase of literally having cheese with everything and it really really works.
But yeh, bread and mayonnaise? What the fuck? Have ya tried telling her of how easy it is to make it taste sooooooooooooo much better?

Yea sure, I'm in the same spot basically. I'm at a healthy weight, but still not totally comfy with it yet. I think the key is just to be patient. Keep working and be patient. It just takes time. This is easier for me being a guy because I can probably block out the blues easier than you can, but still...be patient :P
While losing excess weight is a great step in boosting one's self-esteem, it's not the be-all solution.
Your self-confidence doesn't depend on what size you wear.
It's something that you can only find within yourself.
The day you do, your weight won't matter as much.

I have to say I'm alot happier than I ever have been and alot of that hasn't much to do with weight loss, that's just the last thing I need to 'fix' as it were.

absolutely! I lost 89 lbs a few years ago and I STILL have problems looking at myself in the mirror and not seeing the same face. It's weird how our mind plays tricks on us. But I have to keep an old picture of myself at my highest weight and a current picture for when I get down. It makes me realize how far I've come and how proud of myself I am.
And I AM proud of myself. Even when I gain a few pounds or don't excercise for a few days (or weeks). And when I start again I get that feeling of exuberience. And it reminds me of how much dedication I have.
And more importantly, what I've done for my health. But the mind is a mysterious thing. I've gained a little bit back, but I'm pretty sure I've come to where my body is comfortable. When I got to my lowest weight, I looked "off". Not super skinny, but I'm really chesty so I looked kind of bizarre. Got lots of cat calls and what not (granted, I've been pushing for a breast reduction for years with no avail despite back and neck problems) but I still have to fight with my head sometimes to remind myself of how far I've come and that I'm not that overweight girl anymore. I look good! And I was pretty before too, but we have to keep our confidence and remind our heads to see reality - not the past.
It's not easy! But congratulations to you! BE PROUD!

I'd say to my ex, "i'm feeling fat" he'd just say... "hmm... you're not fat" even when I was at my biggest.... guess what guys... THAT DOESN'T HELP!!!
women need to have the bits they hate, loved by their man. They need to be told that they're gorgeous off a guys own back without having to dig for compliments, they need to know whats good about them and not just that they're 'not fat'. Thats the kind of thing that makes a difference.
and no, no woman will EVER be 100% happy with her body.
I actually feel sorry for men you know.... LOL
Well, I just want her to be happy and if she's not happy with the way she looks, even though they she's unbelievably gorgeous, then I will do what I can to help her... and since I'm really fond of sports I thought I'd help her out by creating a exercise routine for her. Besides it'll be fun doing it together.

and well done to you for losing so much too! Did you do it on Weightwatchers also?
Nice to see i'm not completely crazy in my ramblings!
I also get attention off the opposite sex but it's the fact of sorting it out in your own head, that you obviously understand, that counts and thats what i'm trying to come to terms with at the moment.

I'm not really a big fan of cheese most of the times but it usually does taste good with all kinds of things...
I haven't tried telling her, I rarely speak to her. She's very childish and immature. She's always very friendly, though. But I don't think she'd appreciate me giving her advice about what to eat. Especially because I can basically eat anything without gaining weight these days. My mother is extremely jealous

It probably won't last. Although my dad always had a pretty fast metabolism. He's been getting fatter, though, the last 6 years. But he's been eating a lot of junk food and he's been snacking a lot. He often eats an entire box of cookies or even two, and he drinks a lot of alcohol. He's still not huge, in fact, I'd say he's moderate. But he was always very skinny. He's unhealthy, though...

168 lbs... That's pretty much a whole person.
That makes my weight loss goal tiny in comparison.
All I need to lose is a leg's worth of weight.. or maybe a behind.
I'm trying without resorting to amputation.

I understand this thought process completely. A few years ago, I lost around 120lbs, and still didn't feel comfortable in my own skin so to speak. I've gained some of it back, but have learned to be comfortable with who I am, and am now working on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and getting fit.

Sure, I've always felt huge, even when I was the lightest I've ever been and had 4 pack abs. If you were big as a kid, I think you're always going to feel that way. It's weird, I am short- just under 5'4", but I always feel like I am towering over people. Why? because I hit my adult height in 5th grade and I *did* tower over everyone as a kid. You learn to perceive yourself a certain way in your formative years, it's ingrained. I met this guy who was 6'3" but always thought of himself as short because he was a pip squeak as a kid. Plus if you're a big boned gal anyway (as am I) and your ideal weight still seems bigger than all the skinny minis you see on the street, you can't help but feel bigger. I wouldn't worry about it, just remember that you lost a big freaking amount of weight!
Also I was just wondering if you work out. It's one thing to lose that much weight on a diet, but working out will make you feel tighter (and you'll just fitter overall).

Yeah of course! I X-country mountain bike, go to the gym and run when I get chance. Tbh, I wanna take up running again, i've never felt fitter than when I was running like 5-10 miles of an evening when I trained for a half marathon.

Hahahaa... I'm 5'4 - 5'5 and I always feel taller than most people. I don't think of myself as small at all... and when I walk down the street I look down on all the little people. It was only recently I got asked 'how short ARE you?' and that kinda knocked me off my pedastal

Anyone else ever had these experiences or lost alot of weight?
About 10 years ago I lost 120 lbs. I am 6'2 and got down to 147lbs. My eyes were sunken it, my face was drawn, I was eating <1000 calories a day and still felt (in my head) fat. Since then I packed on a bunch of weight and am now in the process of getting down to a healthy weight for my size. I'm 12 lbs away from my goal of 175lbs and no longer see myself as gargantuan. It's all mind over matter. At least it was for me.
"The leads are weak!"
"The leads are weak? Fuckin' leads are weak? You're Weak! I've Been in this business 15 years"
ok, so 2 years ago I took the decision to lose weight.
I joined weightwatchers and lost a huge 79lb... yes, thats nearly 6 stone, and i'm still - when I try and i'm not drinking or on holiday - losing.
You know, I find it amazing how even though i've lost such a huge amount of weight, I STILL feel huge and i'm so insecure about my body. Don't get me wrong, i'm not a petite girl anyways and never will be (Not that i'd want to be i'm alot happier being hourglass and curvy now... bums and boobs are the way forward IMO ) but considering i've lost so much, you'd think i'd be able to be proud and see myself for the size I am now and not how I used to be, but I can't get the impression of my gargantuan self out of my head!
I got weighed last night (as I do every Wednesday) and after a LUXURIOUS holiday in Belfast, I'd only put on 1/2 a lb. Sure, 'thats not too bad!' I hear you say?! So then, why the hell do I feel like a blimp and like i've put on a 14LB?!
Anyone else ever had these experiences or lost alot of weight?
I wouldn't be surprised if it's normal. I don't have issues similar to yours, but my scars I got over 30 years ago still influence me in what types of clothes I wear. My twin says they are skin tone now, but I still think they stick out as if they were raw. Body image is such a bitch!

WOW...you lost a whole *me*, at perfect weight, anyway. haha. quite honestly, i thought you were thin, definitely don't think you need to lose another pound! that said, we all know ourselves better than anyone else, and what we truly want/need....so if that's what you want...good luck!
as to the initital post and others since with incredible accomplishements - KUDOS to you all! it truly IS an amazing accomplishment, especially keeping it off!
i used to be one of those skinny girls who could eat anything, and then i turned 30. haha. eh, a whole host of things besides age, but yea...that's when it all changed. around 35 i said yikes! and for the first time ever, dieted, worked on improving my nutrition, being mindful of what i ate, etc....and it worked...i lost 35 pounds and was once again thin. however, didn't stick with it. :( so basically, back at square one. i am hoping this time i have learned my lesson - there's no going back to eating anything/everything with no consequences, damnnit.
so while my experience isn't the same...i understand the whole feeling. i too think it's normal. i think it will take time to adjust your own self-image, but i believe you WILL. if you are an otherwise healthy person, both mentally and physcially, i think your mind takes longer to adjust to body changes....but you'll get there! i also think giventofly78 gave some excellent advice...before/after photos....FOCUS on those changes in you. you can still keep working on bettering yourself, but absolutely relish in your accomplishments too!

Since then I packed on a bunch of weight and am now in the process of getting down to a healthy weight for my size. I'm 12 lbs away from my goal of 175lbs and no longer see myself as gargantuan. It's all mind over matter. At least it was for me.

WOW...you lost a whole *me*, at perfect weight, anyway.
as to the initital post and others since with incredible accomplishements - KUDOS to you all! it truly IS an amazing accomplishment, especially keeping it off!
i used to be one of those skinny girls who could eat anything, and then i turned 30.
so while my experience isn't the same...i understand the whole feeling. i too think it's normal. i think it will take time to adjust your own self-image, but i believe you WILL. if you are an otherwise healthy person, both mentally and physcially, i think your mind takes longer to adjust to body changes....but you'll get there! i also think giventofly78 gave some excellent advice...before/after photos....FOCUS on those changes in you. you can still keep working on bettering yourself, but absolutely relish in your accomplishments too!
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
Thanks, but it's all about lighting. You probably didn't see my third ear either, did you?!?
