I'm the same. I know I'm fat. The scales show me. Photos show me. But in my head when there are no mirrors around, I kind of think I look ok?! That's the problem, I got fat and my head just hadn't realised it. All I know Is lady summer was hidious, I felt so uncomfortable !
It's shocking isn't it when you try something on and it only goes to your knees, when in your head you think you'll get them on, but they'll be too small to do up. Stay focused, you'll be slim again and with cd it doesn't take very long xxx

Think it's called being in denial!!! I'm always so shocked in photos or on air as I can't quite believe I am as big as I look!!!

I'm sure you did look fab - but i know ehat you mean - luckily you didn't see photos til after as it would have ruined the day & made you feel uncomfortable & someone who is feeling confident & good in themselves always looks better.

Think ya right about denial i did that for a long time!! Xxx

 

[Rkmriddell]

Agree completely about the denial thing. I look at my strt pictures now and don't every remember looking or feeling as fat and unhealthy as I do on those pictures. Yet I clearly did. The camera never lies eh!! Glad to hear you're feeling a little stronger, we' going to do it and achieve our goals this time girls come on x

 

[notlongnow]

Yeah weather has been ok so far. Didn't get here till about four having to deal wth the crisis at work but here now and set up didn't do much just rode our bikes a bit and had a walk around. Gonna take the kids swimming etc tomorrow I think. See what they want to do. They've enjoyed themselves but are tired today. Just making my last shake up. Tis cold although dry xxx

 

[notlongnow]

Sounds good - it'll be nice to just do what you want - bike rides are fun with the littlies! Enjoy.

Think that's half the problem with me I don't accept that I'm putting on weight slowly but surely until one day in catch a naked glimpse or walking past a shop window and think surely that arse doesn't belong to me lol x

 

[Big Mamma]

Keep going - probably today & tomorrow will be hardest until you get into ketosis so come on here as much as poss and read people's stories & successes. Drink lots and try to keep yourself busy or else go to bed very early!!! Get through this first week & it does get easier I promise!!

well i found today real easy it will probably hit me tomorrow . I do find going to bed early a big help thanks x

 

[Big Mamma]

Made me laugh - I did exactly that - look & wonder quite when it attached itself to me!! & then in a photo seeing just HOW big that bottom is!!!! Least we can laugh now that they are shrinking.

Glad it was ok - hopefully today will be ok and you will be well on your way! My motto is if in doubt or you think you might succumb to any food - go to bed (I am talking in the evening but I suppose daytime you could too!!!!!)
