LOL sorry M2M... got a bit confused as to where I was for a min and can't seem to delete it now! :(:D

Oh dear lol it was meant for mals diary... and I know hes no spring chicken but I thought you'd appreciate his manly expression and all his bling. :D
 
oh he's a turn on alright but i'd be willing to bet he suffers from rockstar syndrome :) i woudln't stand a chance with that primo hunk of beefcake :) (of which i think im grateful)

ya know, those less than hot guys who think they're hot and must be seen with a supermodel to make them seem even hotter :) (ie: ric ocasek from the cars :)
 
So, I was mentioning in Mal's diary that I found a particularly horrid picture of me from several years ago while camping (Camping pictres are NEVER good - and I have boatloads of camping pictures!)

Anyway - I've been trying to find recent pics of me to post, and none that I have are very good - I'm either behind a table, too far away, etc., and I feel like I haven't looked good in any of them and the reason is, according to my ticker I only have 20 pounds to reach my goal - and yet, I feel like I have 50. I look down at my chest, thighs, hips, etc., and think OMG I have FORever still to get down to where I want to be.

So...looking at the old pictures of me, definitely helped put things into perspective.

Yes, we might not be where we want to be - but we're getting closer to that from where where we were.
 
Thanks for sharing that photo M2M. It's rather sweet.

A prefer your current look though. :)

Have you considered that maybe (I don't know), the difference between how you want to look and how you look now might seem relatively bigger to your eye because you are not used to being so small. When you first lost weight it took a lot before people noticed right?

A few pounds of weight loss or gain shows up more on a smaller body.
 
See - I don't feel small! Not by any stretch of the imagination!

I think it's just a timing issue, I had a lot of time seeing myself around 260, I haven't seen myself at 175 for very long...so I just really see myself as big. I take the jeans out of the dryer and every single time, I look at them and say there is no friggin' way my bum is going to fit in those ;)

So in part, I know it's psychological and it will change as I get used to seeing myself smaller - but in the mean time, I Know what 50 pounds looks like, so when I look at my ticker and see only 20 left, there's no doubt in my mind that's misleading.

I find myself mentally comparing myself to my girl friends - collectively we range in size from 4, 8 10, 12, 14, 18 and I'm the 12, I used to be the 20/22 and I absolutely do NOT think the other two are bigger then I am.

So our brains do very funny things...

These aren't very telling - but they're from my palm springs weekend two weeks ago.
 
You look wonderful...just don't get rid of any of your 'fat' pics...I'm keeping mine. I was in so few, because I was embarassed to get my photo taken, but our kids will treasure them later, no matter how we looked.
 
Your vacation looks like a blast!

I think you look great. I do understand that it takes time to get used to a smaller body. Remember the numbers don't lie--especially when it comes to weight, dress size, etc. You've accomplished so much and there are a lot of people in this community that look up to you.
