I've been so proud of myself and so self-righteous, that I completely didn't realize that I am STILL FAT!
I've been walking around, thinking to myself, I'm doing good, I've lost 50 lbs, that's a great accomplishment, but I keep forgetting that I am still very much overweight and still have another 50 lbs to lose! I have to not lose sight of this, and recognize that yes, I have accomplished a lot, but it's not time to pop the champagne yet...
It all started on the bus today, when a very large women got on, I felt sad for her, putting myself in her shoes and remembering what it was like to feel that way. But then I was hit by reality - um... Lisa, who do you think you are, Ms. Skinny pants? No. Really, who am I to judge? I am still very much over weight, heck, some people's starting weight in Weight Watchers is less than my current weight.
I tend to get ahead of myself: Must remember - I'm still fat and am not at the finish line yet... gotta keep on truckin' and not judge others...
Lol I'm not sure I completely agree with your fat statement. I am a true believer in "fake it till you make it" and darling your at the perfect place to start calling yourself skinny. What ya think about you bring about!!
ReplyDeleteI think you should be proud of your success so far! You've lost a ton of weight, but more importantly, you've changed your life. You deserve a little 'I'm hot' strut!
ReplyDeleteyou're doing so well. I totally know what you mean about getting a little cocky, noticing other people's fat but forgetting my own. Woops!! good reminder.
ReplyDeleteYou might have more to lose -- but mentally you're no longer fat. You're not behaving the same way you did that got you fat. You've already had the epiphany. You're behaving thin.
ReplyDeleteI stumbled on your blog when I decided to start my own... I can't agree more with this post!
ReplyDeleteEVERY time I start losing weight...I feel skinny and need to remember that I'm still "technically obese"! I tend to cheat b/c I think I "deserve" it because of my weight loss! Crazy!
