I just found your blog and I love readi...Hi Eric, <br /><br />I just found your blog and I love reading about your story. I too was sleeved in June of this year and have experienced rapid weight loss. I also find comfort in this post of yours because I thought I was the only one having this image issue. I too focus on the problem areas and cannot see how small I am now. I went from a size 16 to a 4 in 5 months. I am 14 pounds from my goal and I still am surprised when people make comments about my skinny self or strangers actually look me in the eye now and smile or strike up a conversation. I think our brains just can't loose the weight image as fast as our bodies lost the fat. There will be a day that there will be a catch up. As many years as we suffered with our extra baggage, that kind of conditioning doesn't flee in a few weeks. Thank you for sharing your story. <br />Shrinkingturtle from MFP<br />aka TaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9546190.post-79579411732319984292012-10-31T11:12:19.269-05:002012-10-31T11:12:19.269-05:00My dearest friend,
There are those of us who do ...My dearest friend, <br /><br />There are those of us who do understand as we, too, struggle from/fight body dismorphic image issues. I know you will think ME nuts but I have struggled with it my entire life and still do. <br /><br />Eric, 160 isn't healthy for you and I am not sure 180 is either. I hope your lovely wife will kick your butt if you get TOO thin. <br /><br />We are here for you. I know I also need support to help change the tapes in my head. I need to learn to ACCEPT my form for its function and be appreciative of what it does for me every day. Even if I will never be 110 and model thin.<br /><br />I love you...
