I know this probably sounds ridiculous, but i am really self concious lately...

Don't take this the wrong way but you look like you're 100 pounds in your avatar, maybe its the way the camera is held.

Razorbackbritt · 03-21-2011, 05:02 PM

Yeah, I was going to say, you look less than 125 in your pic. Your weight must be from muscle, your arms look really defined.

MusicalJess · 03-21-2011, 05:11 PM

I agree. You look less than 125lbs on your pic... You're really pretty. You've done well to get to that weight, and you look really good for it

bargoo · 03-21-2011, 05:13 PM

I agree with all of the above.

gnat7 · 03-21-2011, 05:13 PM

let's just say, I'd kill to have your body.
125 is a healthy weight! Don't let your mind play tricks on you.

You're beautiful

It's true, your own mind is the master of manipulation on yourself. You need to really change your negative thought process!

thanks ladies. i really do need to work on that. i still feel big, i think its my mind being crazy sometimes. ( or possibly, all the time) thanks to each and everyone of you. You have made me feel good today.

*huge hugs*

You need to work on your thoughts. EVERY time I have gotten really thin, I thought I looked FAT, FAT, FAT and totally gave up. I am 5'2" and have weighed between 110 and 210 many times; I have worn size 5 and size 18W because I could not see my success, so decided I was failing, and decided to fail completely. BE CAREFUL. Do not look for praise! Go about your normal routines (our diet is NOT our lives) and use your scale, not your distorted mirror.

KellyMarie90 · 03-21-2011, 06:16 PM

I agree, you definitely appear to be at a healthy weight.
I have the same issue with my mind playing tricks on me. People tell me all the time now that I'm tiny (even people who didnt know me before weight loss and don't even know I used to be bigger) and I always say "no I dont think so."
The hardest thing is we've been in our bodies the whole time theyve been shrinking so its near impossible to tell a difference.
Congrats on your hard work and major accomplishments!

ParadiseFalls · 03-21-2011, 06:22 PM

You look very thin. I can't find anything extra anywhere!! I don't really know what 125 looks like, but I would never guess you were more. You're definitely a skinny girl

DEDIKAYTED · 03-21-2011, 06:27 PM

I would have guessed 110.

You are very lean and you should feel proud of your accomplishments.

Sometimes when I look in the mirror and am down on myself, I have to remind myself that when I was 190 pounds, I would have SWORN that I would be happy at this size. Seriously... a few years ago, I saw a female that was at my size RIGHT NOW, I would have told you that I would kill to be "that" girl's size.

Just something to think about.

Bottom line: You. Are. Beautiful.

Yes you are deff. itty bitty! You look wonderful!! I deff. look in the mirror & dont feel like I look 135...I think it's a girl thing we are more self aware than guys and I point out all the negative looking stuff before the positive!

ar2010 · 03-22-2011, 09:08 PM

When you said 125, I was genuinely surprised....you look 110 at the most. You look great!
