They say think back to when you had an ideal weight.. Well I did, but to be realistic, I will never weigh what I did at 20 before having 4 kids.lol.


In high school I was in the mid 140's at my lowest. Doing LF after my first kid I got down to 138.

Now after 2 kids, 2 c-sections, and 6 months on Atkins I am thinner now then I was at 20 or in high school

So when will I feel skinny? ;p think if I ever save up enough for the boob job that will help. When you can't see your tummy below your breasts, that may help to feel skinny

Thanks everybody. It just seems like I'll feel good about loosing the ammount of weight that I have lost when I get on the scale or try on old clothes but then I stand in front of a mirror and get the old " I have so far to go" complex. I can't believe I've lost 85lbs now! that number blows my mind! I have always been fat, I honestly can't remeber the last time I weighted this little. I don't think I have low self esteem but maybe there is something to the mental aspect of this issue, because I still have a problem buying new pants... I didn't buy any new ones until I went down like 6 or 7 sizes, I guess in the back of my mind I was scared I might go back up, it's silly but this is the type of stuff I have to fight through.
