Oh the difference the last 20lbs can make!!
I wasnt sure where to post this, but after some thought I realized it wasnt going from 145 to 125 that is the issue....its starting at 240 and ending up at 125...so 100lb club is the forum that made sense.
For a long time, years, I had been maintaining at what I thought would be my lowest weight ~145lbs. Maint was relatively "easy", I had a thing going on and felt pretty solid. Over the years I had worked thru most of the emotional stuff (childhood, parental, relationship, self-esteem, blah blah blah) behind the original weight gain in childhood - 20yo, etc.
Then bam, I figure out how to lose the last 20lbs in a couple months and here I am reeling from it!
A ton of the emotional issues came right back up and had to be dealt with again (ok at least I have a roadmap there, haha!).
That whole mind lagging behind the body thing happened. I mentally knew Id lost the weight and was now very tiny, but in many ways I still felt like the same ol 145lb me.
Comments - ruder than ever. I have come to think that the very fat and the very thin are the only groups of people strangers seem to find fit to speak their rudest truth to.
All sorts of strange physical things have happened, some awesome (holy defined hip bones and 6pack abs, hotness)...some not awesome (the relatively mild loose skin problems are now quite noticeable in some areas in some positions, boobs are smaller than some size A and I had to buy a belt in the kids dept, no not jrs, kids today).
I think part of it, is that I had somehow imagined that if I ever got to this point it would look a little different. I guess I presumed all size 2 people with solid muscle mass and good overall fitness would look awesome naked, have no hanging skin, and wear anything they wanted. Its still a miracle if I find boots that fit over my calves, heh.
Not sure if anyone else is currently or has previously experienced this....but just wanted to share my experience with those that seem to understand the trials and tribulations of losing 100+lbs.
