I legit typed into google what I felt and that was awkwardly fat. I was 342.6 when I started in november of 2010. Now I'm 280. I'm still a bison when i look in the mirror. I don't want to shop at Saks quite yet. I'm too big to fit in my old clothes so I shop at tj maxx, and marshals. I see a bunch of stuff that would fit me when I was 340 but absolutely nothing for my size and lweight rite now. I'm starting to get apathetic to weight loss but to be honest the only thing that's motivating me is meeting up with my ex girl friend, showing her what she's missing out on, hitting it and quitting it.

I think I am at 235-240 now. I was 265. I look at all my band photos and, though I was between 195 - 215, I was visibly much more thin, but I still wear the same clothes decently comfortable. I desperately miss my abs, and even tho I have begun running and calesthenics again, I feel it is all for nothing. Middle sucks BAD! I'm not fat as I had become, but I have at least 30-40 to go before I can even think about getting on stage again. I have been told by several people that it's all in my head and once you're in shape, it's easy to get back into shape, but my chest is sagging, my thighs have spread (probably the desk job) and my uneven love handles look like used bits of Playdoh. I still have cut in my arms and legs, but from the thighs to the chest, it's like being the Michelin man. All I can do is ignore the scale, eat less bad food, more vegetables, drink water, exercise and pray. 40 is around the corner (less than a year). Hang in there guys. I hear ya.

I've lost 95lb, I have 40lb to go. Everyone tells me how good I look, how fantastic I should feel, but I don't. I feel crap and angry and demoralised. I can only concentrate on how far I've got to go, not how far I've come.And my body feels alien, I look terrible. There are places on my body that are toned, my legs, my back, but the wobbly places look horrible, I have saggy "bingo wings" (triceps), I have a saggy stomach, my boobs are like let down balloons.I know I'm doing the right things and that exercise is helping me, but the final 40lb feels overwhelming. I have plateaued and it's horrible and I know it's because I'm not eating properly, exercising properly and doing all the things I did at the beginning, but it's because I'm bored and overwhelmed.So thank yu for writing your blog and letting me know I'm not alone!

I'm halfway to goal weight and it's so freakin' expensive! I'm even finding my *shoes* have become a bit too big. And, this hopefully isn't an issue for you, but my breasts are not losing weight, meaning that I'm now discovering new, freakish and massively overpriced bra sizes (I didn't know cups went up to H!). And because I've lost a lot of weight, I get a bit too ambitious and try on clothes in stores that, uh, I'm not quite ready for yet. No biggie, at least it gives me an excuse not to buy them, but then I feel silly and, yes, awkwardly fat. I totally hear you. I’m halfway to goal weight and it’s so freakin’ expensive!
