This morning at church, one of my friends who I haven't seen in over a month came walking up to me and I thought she looked chubby, but I had to wrap my mind around the fact that she was the same - it's me who is different! But when I see myself, I don't see that big of a change! Another lady I saw this morning I thought, "whoa, she's gained weight, but I don't think so, I think she's probably pretty much the same." I'm not thinking these things really judgementally, more observationally. My mind is just in a weird place.

Ooh, my secret guilty thoughts as well. :^: I do not like these new eyes that now see formerly "thinner" people as suddenly "fat". I hate that my mind is constantly sizing people up and I really hope it stops. :dizzy: I feel so incredibly vain.

ncuneo--8/10! thats awesome!! I can't imagine being that small...well, I couldn't imagine being a size 12 either! But here I am...My closet is the cleanest it's ever been because I've pulled outall my 16/18's and then bought some new stuff for the beach in June...I'm also hoping I can wear these things for a while...NEW WARDROBES ARE EXPENSIVE!!! :) (goodwill has become my new fav. store to buy my "in-between" clothes!!!)

hamoco--I totally know how you feel!! in between stages suck! but i guess we gotta have them to get where we're goin! :) I'm hoping running will thin out my thighs too!!! pants will be loose in the waist, but tight on my legs...I HATE IT!

Eliana--YES, the regular section does have a GREAT SELECTION!!! I love it!

sweetnlow--yes, I guess I'm turning kinda vain also...but now I also feel prettier so makeup is a must! and I love getting compliments on my WL..it's so encouraging!!

smj--You'll be here before you know it!! especially if you stick w/3FC! This site has made all the difference in my WL journey!!! GOOD LUCK!

windchime--I love LANE BRYANT! haha especially they're underwear...the Christmas before I started my WL journey they started making this low-rise hipster cotton underwear and I LOVE THEM! I'm still wearing them, but they're gettin big! guess I'll have to fall in love with Vic. Secret! Oh Darn! :)

Tai--thanks for the encouragement!! it's not so much that I don't feel like i belong in the regular dept, its just that my mind takes me to the plus size!! I'm guessing it'll just take time for my mind to catch up! :D

ducktape--give it time....I stayed in the same size pants for almost 30lbs...and then another 20 before I could go down another size...I've learned that patience is greatly needed in this journey! GOOD LUCK! Keep up the good work!

Susie--I too find myself comparing/observing friends/family...but now that you've commented on how it's probably just that we're smaller, the ppl aren't actually gaining...it's gonna make me rethink my observations! As Eliana said, i too hope my brain stops thinking this way!!! WOOHOO for no longer needing plus size magazines!!

jojo--what a great compliment to get from a store associate!! that would just make my day!!! Congrats on your WL!!!

That just about covers how I feel right now. I have a hard time relating to anyone so I'm becoming more and more secretive and resentful about things. I am trying to figure myself out mentally while I change myself physically. I also catch myself noticing people more - their weight as compared to their height, the types of clothing they wear, etc. As you mentioned, I am not judging any one of them, just genuinely fascinated. It's strange. :dizzy:
