I’ve been feeling a little ‘off’ in an emotional way. I hit the 55lb loss mark on Wednesday and I was “meh” about it. I was quite surprised at my reaction as there was no real excitement (I was doing the happy dance at -40 lbs). Within 60 minutes I emailed my bf and asked him if he would still love me if I lost my butt and my boobs went flat (it’s very obvious from his relationship history that he loves BBW’s). Of course he said “yes”…he’s my VIP.
DRUM ROLL: I think I’m actually a little scared of loosing my weight…I had that epiphany and decided to mull over it for a few days. I wasn’t ready to post this yesterday because everyone was so awesomely POSITIVE . All the positivity really did help to read, so thanks. I just didn’t want to be a downer.
I’m shocked, positively shocked…that I’m scared that I’m going to loose all my weight (although at least I’ve identified it). I am scared to give away all my big clothes…I keep thinking “ok Missy, just pack them up in the car and drop them off”…but the pile just gets bigger and bigger and really it doesn’t seem that simple because of my fear. Odd that I needed reassurance from my bf that he’d still love me when I was smaller. These are all emotions that I NEVER EVER thought I’d have to deal with.
I realize this is probably one of those emotional lows that comes with loosing all the excess weight and the estrogen releasing into my body. But to be quite honest I’m flabbergasted with myself!
I’m sorry if I have rained on anyone’s positivity today, but I am utilizing this board to help me through this process and you’re all so great. So I want to be truthful with my successes and my challenges. I hope I’m not coming across as whining (cause really, -55lbs is awesome I know that in my heart, apparently my head hasn’t caught up), I just wanted to share.

Carla I think you are very normal, I had days when all I wanted to do was put on my old comfy clothing and just stay there. The fortunate thing I have a great friend that said I looked like a bag lady and gave me clothing from sizes 14 to 5. It became exciting again and I cleaned out my closet took everything to good will, you will love this it just makes you realize what a complishment it is. I still have days when I still see me as the old me, and then there are days like today I wearing size 12 pants (that are getting too big) and a tight longsleeved t-shirt that I love cause it has the oilers on it... now that also was a little issue as the guys were looking at my oiler logo and commenting... on the oilers but I could see them on my chest... so that was interesting to experience again... kind of want to say YOHOO my eyes are about 1/2 foot higher??? When I hit this last plateau of mine I kind of felt the same way as you too but you just have to suck it up and move on... I did and I am losing again. Try different things with the diet, I keep going back to the recipes to try something new... that helps a lot. Originally Posted by Ishbel

I bought the coffees at Walmart and ground them there. Also have a big bag of raspberry chocolate Second cup coffee. I have english toffee, and caramel, peanut butter and peach right now for syrups.. what I did on the weekend is used my coffee as the water for a chocolate pudding, with ice and caramel syrup through it in my magic bullet and had a thick iced cap for breakfast... it is really good that way. I also have splenda flavored singles for coffee, french vanilla. Enjoy... I also use extracts and had a peppermint one the other day.Originally Posted by disgal
Ditto about the coffee!! LOL!! LOVE that smell...the taste...not so much!!! I think I'm gonna try your idea tho...sounds like a yummy treat for sure!! Are those Keurig coffee flavors that you purchase? And what flavor syrup do you use? Thx!!
