Hi Felici
You just look so good! Thanks for sharing your very inspirational pics! I know how difficult it can be when you're not overly tall to look...er...well, to look great, which is how you look now! Great job!

Cheers
 
LOL!!!!

Well it's helping my current image a lot, to have before images to stand next to! I get a similar effect amongst my family and friends who remember how I looked before and keep telling me I look fabulous. I'm aware of the reality that I do have a long way to go still and when I backslid a little recently I was suddenly a lot more aware of the bits that aren't what I want!

As far as being short goes, well, I would loooooove to have long legs!! I would really like to be able to reach all the shelves I can't reach!! As far as looking taller goes - I think getting slimmer helps a bit. At my fattest I realized I was admiring the appearance of women who had a similar shape to the way I used to look when I was younger and hated the way I looked. :) So I guess that has me somewhat reconciled to my natural shape.

I do already love the difference I can enjoy now.

Thanks. It was the last week in September.

For good or bad, I weigh almost the same amount now. An actual holiday became a weight loss holiday, and then a weight gain holiday.... (beware the holidays!!!!). After some bouncing around on landing, I'm pretty much back to the most recent picture.
 
oh wow just found this thread! man you are kicking some major butt, you look HEAPS younger! thats super fantastic.
You know how we were always saying you dont look your age ... well you look a lot closer to your age in that first pic! but wow you look my age (30s) in the last one!
 
Thanks wishes! (and thanks for the long ago compliment I missed Blancita.)

It's funny about the age thing wishes. I have a lot more fine lines now that I've lost weight, and in an odd way, in advance of losing weight I always felt a little unsure about that. In real life, people have always thought I'm younger than I am, and I used to think I might suddenly look a lot older. However, despite the extra lines, both in real life and in my photo online life, people still say I look younger now I've lost weight. :D

Well, it's all good I guess! I had a bit of a hard time with the idea of what I look like for a while when I started to lose weight. I knew I looked better, and I had the idea that posting pictures here was useful somehow, but, I felt confused about how I looked.

I started out not being able to relate to the person in the first picture, who looks different to how I felt on the inside. At the time I was that weight I couldn't post pictures on the net because I would just reject them. I knew I was that fat, but I would look at pictures of my face and just go - that's not me - well it was, but I hadn't accepted that my face had changed like that. Then when I started to lose weight I would look at the photos and compare with the mirror and say - well my lines aren't showing, and that's not me! But at least the photos looked better, so I published them anyway, even though I couldn't really relate to them. Now I feel a lot more used to looking as I do, and the pictures look like me to me - though I'm somewhat more lined. Probably in RL I look in between my real age and my net age.

Whatever I look like, what has counted the most for me is how I feel. I love to feel so much lighter and better able to move. I love being able to approve of myself much more than I could. I love feeling more mainstream too, and being able to not shop for clothes because I don't have enough money, instead of because I know they won't fit!! :D (I do shop actually, and it's fun as, just not right now. :D)

I really do want to post a new picture along side those other ones. It's been a long time that I've been around the same weight. I've been in the game still, but dealing more with the demons instead of floating over them. I do think I've made some real mental progress though and hopefully there will be another picture to come as I start making physical progress again.

The weights are probably a bit high there actually. I was using a scale that weighed me as heavier than most other scales do. Currently I use a nice accurate sliding balance scale which shows me as about 68.5 kg (150.7 lb). On that basis I still need to lose a couple of kilos to get back to the weight in the picture from last September.
 
I agree about the looking younger and lines. Everyone says i look younger, and yet i see a lot more lines in the face also.
