HI, i read your entry, and i can sooooo relate to what you wrote. I started at 257.5, and i also didnt see the "fat me" and when i weighed 160 many years ago, all i saw was a fat person when i looked in the mirror. even when i would see pictures of myself at my heaviest(the few that slipped by me) i would think to myself, oh its just a bad picture, the wrong outfit, etc....) i think i was in denial about my weight, and also how i looked. Now that i have been on plan for a year and a half, i have lost 87.5 pounds, and i am just starting to see myself the way others see me. Losing it slowly, also helped me because the changes were so gradual, it almost like you go 3 or 4 months and (20-25) pounds, and then one day you look in the mirror and just look thinner, even than you did the day before. I know i feel a lot better about myself, and i think that's half the battle. I know you can do this, YOU know you can do it. Just take it one day at a time, and focus on small goals instead of one big one. Good luck with your journey.

) pounds. So how can this almost 100 pound weight gain have happened? I am scared that I will give up & I am holding on to this forum as a huge lifeline.
