Re: I,ve lost over 7stone..or 98lbs..but i am so unhappy to the severe point of depression!
Thu, January 11, 2007 - 6:58 AMHey! I'm also a newbie and I know exactly how u feel. I have lost about 100 pounds and I am now a size 8 Aust which i think is a size 4 maybe US...but anyway now I weigh 120 pounds and everyone tells me how great I look and how I"m so lucky. Yeah right. Ok I"m a mum to 3 boys, all born by C-Section by the way, so you can imagine the mess my stomach is, and yeah I do look good in clothes, but what about out of them. I hate my body so much it's affecting my relationship. I have no breasts left...except skin where they used to be,a saggy, uneven, disguisting stomach and I won't even go into my tuck shop arms or saggy upper legs! My boyfriend hasn't said anything mean but I know it grosses him out too and it hurts like hell. He tells me how good I look in those jeans, or that dress, but I know my belly and lack of boobs bothers him. And I know that naked I'm not attractive to him. He hardly even touches me except through clothes. I would go to the hospital right now and go under the knife if I could, but working my butt off to support my 3 boys doesn't leave much hope for that. I like you, was always bright and bubbly and the life of the party, now I try to hide. So how do we feel sexy after such a fantastic effort we did of losing all the weight? We did a tremendous job at losing so much weight, but when does it start to make us feel good? I almost wish I didn't lose the weight. At least when I was fat I didn't care because people knew I was fat. Now I'm thin, I'm always worried about everything, clothes, hair etc, because u know u do turn heads as u walk past. But I just think, why can;t I look sexy undressed too???
