Warning:- Thoughtful post comign up!
It's something that has always amazed me. You see in the newspaper someone who has lost a lot of weight and they do the before and after pictures and you can't get over how amazing the difference is.
Then I look at pictures of myself from a couple of years ago and now and I think the exact same.
I can acknowledge the difference is there but I struggle to feel it. The pipe band season has just started again and people have been commenting on the difference between September and now. We haven't actually competed yet so on Saturday I'll be out in a new, better fitting kilt, and overall better fitting uniform...this should show a difference also.
But I was thinking, do we ever truly feel the difference? We have went so long accustomed to the bodies we have had, the problems it has caused and the anguish and pain caused by it that it almost seems like acceptance may never come around.
I know fine well I look better now than I have done since my early teens. I just wonder if going through high school as the fat kid has led to problems accepting the changes that have been made.
It seems that it is only when I see pictures of catch myself in a long mirror that I can actually stand and appreciate just how far I have came.
Even when people comment on the weight I have lost I quickly dismiss it, brush the compliments aside and try and not bring it up. I don't like bringing it up, and never have. That has been instilled in me over the years. It hurt being reminded how fat I was and now it's awkward being told I am not.
But please beleive me, I am delighted with the change over the last 18 months but even when I acheive my goal I still think the little niggling issues will be around.

hey there hon. there have been quite a few people posting about similar things recently.
i spent so many years convincing myself that i looked 'alright'. that i 'wasn't that big' until all of a sudden i couldn't convince myself any more. i reckon that it will take my mind quite some time to backpedal and accept that i'm thin again, since it took so long for me to accept that i was fat...
i'm sure we'll all get there in the end. when people comment i try not to think of what i was like, or how ashamed i am that i let it get that far. i think of the huge achievement it is to battle it out, even though most people that comment don't have a clue
bet you look fab in your uniform
