I can picture my body by looking at other women of similar height/bone structure. But I have no idea what my face will look like. I went from baby fat to fat fat, I don't really know what shape my face will take on.
I can identify with a lot of what people have said especially having been overweight since childhood and not ever really being at a normal weight. When I was a teen I was only about 30 lbs overweight at the end of high school but it really felt like 100 lbs to me and I thought then that going over 200 would just be the end of the world. Oh if I only knew then what I know now!
I can hardly imagine myself losing 20 lbs, let alone getting back down to goal weight. My goal weight, by the way, would have horrified me before I had kids. I was never slim, but absolutely not fat, even though I always thought I was....
What a great question. I never could imagine myself at goal, probably because I haven't been at my goal weight (145-150) for about 15 years. I can see myself at my prepregnancy weight (180) but nothing below that. I can't wait to have the pictures to REALLY see it.
I can sort of see it - it would be how I looked as a freshman in highschool... I was gorgeous and fit, and I cannot believe I thought I was fat and then wondered why all these older guys kept hitting on me
I'll have loose skin and a belly from having children, sure, but just picturing myself looking shapely again, healthy, and my FACE being so much thinner, the whole thing is so close I can taste it. Even though some days I swear I see no change in my face and body, having lost almost 40 pounds, I know that other times the difference is HUGE. It will be even better 100 pounds or more down.
It's not like I am changing the person I am, just releasing the woman I know is inside all the blubber. YAY!
I've never been at a "normal" weight, so it's hard to imagine. However, I take after my grandmother in body shape --- so I'm guessing I'll look somewhat like her! I can't wait to find out!
I can't really picture myself at my goal weight. (I have a pic of me at around 200)
my brain goes all over the place, sometimes I see myself as thinner than I am (then I see a picture or myself in a mirror at the gym, and I'm a little shocked). Sometimes I imagine myself as heavier. I feel like I don't always have a real sense of my size.
I've been playing around with my virtual model, put my face on it and everything. Tried some clothes on. It does make my body look more flattering than it is in real life, since my thighs are bigger and so are my upper arms. It streamlines, ha.
It's definitely worth it to keep lots of pics, which I have from my heaviest to now.
I was born a BIG boy (10+ lbs) and have always been overweight. There wasn't a time that I was the correct/normal weight for my height. It'll be weird to see what I look like under all that insulation.

lol yea me too. babyfat to fat fat, so it's going to be weird for me to see the changes in my face
When I was younger and slimmer, I had a body like Sophia Loren when she was younger and heavier. So I look at pictures of the young Sophia Loren and keep my fingers crossed, LOL!
