Different clothes sizes now, but I still see an image of a very fat person staring back at me. But here is what I think is also happening: as time goes on, I am noticing that I can do things easier (like the biking and hopping up the stadium stairs). My stamina is better, too. I think these SV and NSV are going to be the evidence that I need to see my image as thinner as the weight comes off. It was over 12 years that I was obese, so it will take a while for me to get used to my new image. You see, you will get used to teh new you and embrace your thinner Shane; give is a little time.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16422138891797605472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3789015470475947309.post-62621630877492094292010-09-25T20:12:52.137-07:002010-09-25T20:12:52.137-07:00I agree with everyone else - post pics!

Post some before and now pics and I know you will see a difference. That will help. <br /><br />You are doing great btw.

Yesterday I was sitting in my car and I looked down at my thighs and I had this weird feeling I was looking at someone else's legs because they were so small. It's weird, but I am sure we'll get used to ourselves eventually. I'm so focused on the things I can do and doing more faster and better that the way I look is secondary.

Like several others mentioned, I too would like to see your progress pics. Oh, and I've read over some of your past posts. Seriously, giving up bread for the challenge is a great idea, but you said it's not ambitious. I must disagree with you on that. Giving up bread is major for most people (me included). That's amazing!<br /><br />Charlotte - www.fathairday.blogspot.comCharlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05332606854060661328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3789015470475947309.post-45818528570357103982010-09-25T10:22:24.399-07:002010-09-25T10:22:24.399-07:00Excellent goal for the 5k!

I am just now finally beginning to appreciate my size, but I still sometimes thing of myself where I was when I started this thing. I would go so far as to say it is the greatest challenge for many of us.<br /><br />I agree with the others on the pics. Before/During pics are a real motivator for me.South Beach Stevehttp://www.logmyloss.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3789015470475947309.post-91925176799259220772010-09-25T08:21:42.701-07:002010-09-25T08:21:42.701-07:00Yeah!

Then when you see them on your blog side by side with the "before" maybe it will help it sink in.
