So, i get this feeling all the time when I look at myself when im naked or when I take a picture of myself.
I've always been "chubby" or overweight my whole life, and it seem that I'll never be thin because I never have been.
Oh yeah, I think like that almost everyday of my life. I myself have never been slim/thin/skinny/a healthy weight either. I have no idea what I will look like at a "healthy weight". Kind of scares me. It also discourages me, it makes me think I could never be thin....
yes....i know i have a small frame and i'm only 5 foot, but i just can't picture it. that is what i'm aiming though but i don't think my skin will be all tight and stuff, ya know. my skin has stretched and stuff so it'll look weird.
That thought crosses my mind everytime I think about my weight. I never been thin so I think I would always be the fat girl and just want to give up and go back to bad habits. But then I mentally slap myself, and say "baby steps, you'll never know till you try!"
I've never been real thin. I was a normal weight once but had big thighs and butt. I can't imagine myself being thinner. Every day I look in the mirror and see the same thing. I have to look at pictures to even notice my progress. I'm afraid I'll always think I'm fat.
I'm sure I must sound like a broken record on this forum sometimes, but I have been fat my WHOLE LIFE--from getting teased relentlessly throughout childhood, all the way to when I started my weight loss last summer. When I got my very first pair of jeans at 10 years old, they were size 18... Now, at ~175 lbs, I literally have not weighed this little since I was prepubescent and probably 6 inches shorter. So, quite honestly, YEAH, I have a d*mn hard time ever picturing myself as "thin," or even being an average, normal-sized person. Part of me knows that it IS possible, because I have seen it done by many of the amazing members on here... But I think it will take a very, VERY long time before I could ever self-identify as a healthy person... If I ever do! I just feel like, I don't even know what it means to be a normal-sized person, or how normal-sized people act, or anything, you know? It is ALL brand-new to me!!
this is the story of my life. i think it's why i have such a hard time committing and staying focused. it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. i've always been overweight and out of shape. so i just can't look past that.
It's REALLY hard for me to imagine being thin because when I WAS thin, I thought I was fat.
I remember being weighed when I was 14 (already as tall as I am now, pretty much done developing) and I weighed 138 and I thought that was like huge.
OOOOOH how I long to be 138 haha
Oh, same. I was just thinking today I wish I was as "fat" as I was in high school when I thought I was hideously fat, and I was between 135-145 the whole time. Heck, I'd be thrilled to be be 20 pounds or so "fatter" than I was then.
I can imagine getting down a bit, but hard to imagine close to my goal weight right now again, it's been a while now... One pound at a time I guess. ^_^
Same here. I used to be thin, but I had been heavy for so long it just didn't register that I was where I had wanted to be. The process seems so slow and of course you see yourself everyday, so it's not like running into people who haven't seen you in so long and notice right away. I did have thin "moments" when something that I never dreamed I'd fit into again actually fit and I'd be on cloud 9 all day. Oh well. Hopefully I will be there again soon and appriciate my accomplishment.
The smallest I ever was down to was 150 so sometimes i wonder if I'll EVER be 135- and I have no clue what I'll look like and the thought that I'll have to buy a completely new wardrobe seems so strange to me.
I think we all must feel that way at times and that's usually followed by a feeling of failure for me, but I'm trying to break that cycle and coming here is really helping!
I'm at a point where I feel like I will never be thin. I've been stuck at this weight for a few months. Whenever I see people post on here showing how good they look and say they did it by running a few miles 3-4 times a week, while I run about 30 miles a week and see no results on the scale. I'm trying not to give up though, I'll continue to run regardless and just pray that someday I'll look like the runner I want to be.
Do you ever think you'd be thin?
